WHAT PART OF YOURSELF ARE YOU HOLDING BACK CURRENTLY?
Plenty!
Though I’m not a fan of the woman, her words ring more true than not. I go to them every time I am asked about my fear or what is holding me back.
This time around though, I think I’m holding back more as a result of the pandemic than anything else. But this did give me a chance to ponder what I’m allowing to hold me back from what it is I want to do/be in this phase of my life.
Time isn’t an issue. Desire isn’t an issue. Energy isn’t an issue. Confidence isn’t an issue. Money isn’t an issue.
Ah ha! Motivation is an issue.
The pandemic has infused a sense of unfamiliar malaise, a lethargy, rather than the usual excitement of inspiration to my days. I’m easily distracted and can’t seem to keep my focus. And you know what? That’s perfectly okay. To use an irritatingly overused phrase: these are unprecedented times, and I can be forgiven - we can all be forgiven - if we allow ourselves to cope in whatever way suits us. Just one rule: no judgment, of self or others.
Once this fifth wave ends then I’ll get back to experiencing the fear of being powerful beyond measure. Until then, I will allow myself some grace.
