Stop trying to fix these 3 things

I see it all the time. 

People are spending precious time and energy trying to solve problems that aren't actually problems (when they could be making traction toward their goals)

Here are my Top 3:

1. Sometimes you feel like butt

Sometimes you feel unmotivated? Ashamed? Tired? Stressed? Angry? Sad? Some other butt feeling?

Cool. Me too.

Cause we're humans and not psychopaths. Yay us.

Feelings are information. Nothing more. You don't have to fix them.
 

2. You doubt yourself

Doubt is a symptom of growth. 

It comes up when you're trying to accomplish something you've never done before. 

Confidence is amazing. But if you're waiting to feel confident before you take action toward a new goal, you're going to be waiting foreverrrrrrr. 

Confidence comes last. Feel the self-doubt. Then do the thing anyway. 

3. You don't know "how"

I get it. I love a good how-to. But the "how" is not the problem. You're one Google search away from a bunch of different how's. 

But for some things, the "how" is discovered through the doing. 

How'd you learn to ride a bike? It wasn't through an instructional how-to.

You committed, you fell (a lot), and you kept going until you nailed it. - THIS is your how.

Let go of the fake problems

Some of y’all are spending way too much of your precious your time and energy trying to fix things that aren’t even problems.

And this means that you’re overlooking:
✅ Opportunities 
✅ What’s already working
✅ New Solutions

So stop trying to solve problems that don’t actually exist. 

You’ve got epic things to do. Go do them.
