how to continue to move through a project,goal you started

When starting a new project that makes me excited beyond words but when I actually begin all things come crashing in my mind I feel overwhelmed, I feel the need to do it in a certain way to make it perfect. I start to think I need to learn more because I don’t know if I can do it that’s been I struggle for many years. now I know why I haven’t able to finish many things I started when all this start to hit me I begin to search for distraction to help ease it, to postpone it and to run from all these thoughts that are killing me but they come again after and during the distraction I am doing I realize now that I was looking to go back to my comfort zone even though my dreams and goals are calling me. I used to run a lot from facing many problems or work out of my comfort or that require me to do something I programmed myself I am not good at if you have been struggling like me I feel you I know it hurts because your brain seek comfort for you but same time you have these big dreams, desires you want to achieve and you know running and not doing the work will hurt you and keep you where you are right now.

if you wonder what to do to get rid of this struggle here are solutions that I use that could potentially help you too

1-write about it:  take a sheet of paper or on your computer and start to write about what you feel and why you do it and more until you feel like a heavyweight has lifted from your chest.

2-use affirmation: an example to ones I use. I am the type of person that finishes what it starts, I am the type of person that moves keep moving with all the self-doubt that creeps on me when I start a project.

3-change yourself talk:  talk positively. don’t put yourself down if you happen to slip and follow the distraction and don’t beat yourself up whenever these thoughts co tome accepts me and try to use them as a trigger to say a positive thing about yourself or just repeat the affirmation you wrote before.

4-set a timer: you may wonder how this going to help but many times when I have been distracted or trying to postpone the work this keeps me focused it’s like a trigger I work with all power until the timer is up and often continues past it. you can actually use whenever start to work on anything even before all that kick in your mind.

5-feel the feeling you are going to have after finishing it: first what is this feeling? Can you guess I bet you can it’happiness, relive, joy and after you truly finish take a moment to absorb it in.

Remember these feeling are normal and especially if you used to run a lot by using distraction whenever big or uncomfortable or familiar task assigned to you by you or others it’s a habit and every habit can be broken and build new one its place.

peace and love
