What’s something you’re actively avoiding doing right now, and how different would your life be if you just got it done?! 🤔
I want you to think of ONE thing you’re avoiding doing right now – might be a hard conversation, setting a boundary, ending a relationship or friendship.
Maybe it’s leaving your job, booking the appointment, being honest about your finances or hiring that staff member.
Perhaps you’re at that place in your life with a person or situation where you just need to say “Not this. Not anymore.” ✋🏼
Got something in mind?
Great. Now ask yourself: How different could my life be if I JFDI (Just Fucking Did It)?
Avoidance gives us temporary relief from the shitty feelings we know will come from doing the thing – anxiety, sadness, anger, resentment, whatever it is.
But the thing you’re avoiding doesn’t magically disappear – in fact, it may be something you’ve been avoiding for YEARS.
This turns into long term pain. 😣
How much energy is thinking about it all the time sucking out of you?
Imagine how much more energy you’ll have back when you actually get it done?
Short term pain = long term gain.
Maybe you’re telling yourself you’ll wait until you’re ready – but is that even true? It’s ok if you’re just scared to do it. That’s totally normal.
Instead of thinking about how uncomfortable it would be to do the thing, reflect instead on this question:
WHAT IS NOT DOING IT COSTING ME?
When I think back to leaving my job in Corrections, leaving my shit relationships, finally confronting my growing debt… when I think about how much more pain I’d have been in if I hadn’t confronted those situations when I did, I feel SO much relief for not having stuck around longer. 😮💨
So what is it costing you, really?
Your happiness? Peace? Confidence? Self-respect? Another 6 months or 6 years of your LIFE?
Choosing yourself doesn’t always feel empowering in the moment – sometimes it’s fucking terrifying! 😦
I’ve made so many decisions in my own life that scared the shit out of me at the time, but I knew I had to put my big girl pants on and JFDI anyway.
I grew my confidence that way too – as well as my self-love, self-worth and self-respect.
Not to mention I totally changed my happiness level, manifested my dream life and stepped into my true, unapologetic authentic self. 🥰
“Before Project Self Worth I was in a relationship that I was not happy in… I felt lonely, I felt disrespected, I felt I was not moving forward with what I wanted to achieve in my life. I learnt that I am strong and I was able to walk away from a relationship of 18 years.” – Tracey S
