Just doesn’t work. Waiting. Putting something off. It won’t just happen. And the later you wait the worse your fear and stress becomes.
It’s a matter of creating space to face the pain. Right here. Right now. Because either way there will be pain. So why wait?
Pain doesn’t have to be bad. It can be the source of inspiration that drives good work. But not facing the pain and waiting until the last second doesn’t open you up to do good work. It forces you to just get it done. And then you feel regret that you didn’t do it earlier. That you let yourself share something less than you’re capable of.
Create the space. Face the pain. Now is better than later. Avoidance doesn’t work when you’re facing the inevitable.
