You know that thing you keep saying you’ll do—the one task you promise yourself will get done—yet somehow it’s the only thing that never moves?
That’s resistance.
Sometimes it wears the mask of procrastination. Sometimes it whispers, “It’s not the right time.” But underneath? It’s often the Prover, saying:
“If it’s not 100%, don’t do it at all.”
And here’s the truth: waiting to feel smooth, inspired, or 100% ready will keep you circling forever.
Starting will always feel edgy. That flutter in your belly isn’t proof you’re off track—it’s evidence you’re stepping into visibility and leadership.
So let’s soften the pressure.
What if showing up mattered more than how polished it looks?
What if it didn’t need to be perfect to make a difference?
What if messy action is the real magic?
Let’s practice that now. 🧡
Mini Energy Check
Pause for a moment. Close your eyes.
Take 3 deep breaths, each with a long, audible exhale—haaaaaaaa.
With each breath, feel your shoulders drop, your feet connect to the floor, your body arrive.
Say to yourself: I don’t have to be perfect to begin—I just have to be here in this moment.
Resistance doesn’t mean stop—it means tender energy is at play. You don’t need to wait until you feel polished. You just need to take one small, imperfect step in presence.
