How Do You Start

Writting is terapeutic. I should do it more often. How did I ever let myself be so distracted and buzy so I forgot about it.

I feel better when I let myself say what I think and be what I can in the moment. I feel better when I let myself write whatever I want, and also get it out there, not keep it to myself.

Obviously, indecisiveness is a huge factor. School teaches us a lot of enciclopedia knowledge, but often misses out on real important skills. Being decisive is one of them. There is probably no better advise as “just give yourself a permition to fail and from now on try more often”.

An achivement is every time you tried something. Not every time you succeed. It may sound cheesy, in the spirit of boring to everyone “millenium upbringing”. But hear me out.

Everytime you give yourself a permition to fail, close your eyes and just do what you wanted, you retrain yourself. You give yourself a new habit and make this habit stronger. That’s what must be celebrated. Not the quality of your work..)

If you suck, you suck. Let’s just accept it and start looking for ways to improve. But apart from the process of improvement you need a habit of doing not perfect things. And that’s what I am lacking. I imagine I am not alone in that.

That’s what needs to be done much more often that learning and improving. I was learning my whole middleaged life, but how often did I actually act on what I’ve learned? Miniscule number of times. We are not grounded in acting.

This realisation might be one of the most impactful ones. Have a cup of coffee with it. Take it for a walk. Get yourself used to seeing this miscalculation. And start a new habit — habit of trying to do things you are not yet good at.
