• I keep waiting until I feel ready or motivated before I move on the thing that matters, and that feeling never quite arrives, so weeks pass with me planning some big change instead of just taking one small step today.
• I keep telling myself I’ll start once I feel up to it, and the feeling never arrives
• I keep telling myself I’ll do things once I feel up to it, and that moment just never arrives
