You may be overlooking the final step to completing your project

Are you teetering on a decision, a plunge, a final step … a first step? Whatever you’re on the brink of, whatever you’ve almost committed to, but haven’t quite been able to … consider this note from me a holler across the wintry field to just SEND IT.

If you look into psychology studies of regret, people’s biggest regrets fixate on what they haven’t done rather than what they have done.

Cyclists who encouraged themselves with self-talk using the pronoun “you” performed better than when they talked to themselves using “I” — 3% more power output, to be exact. In other words, “You can do this” may be a more powerful way of encouraging yourself than saying “I can do this.”

You don’t have to feel completely ready — and what’s more, you don’t need to be ready technically either. You really only need to feel restless and impatient to find out what would happen if you did begin. Impatience is readiness in disguise.
