Have you ever been busy re-writting something you’ve already written? Do you feel like you have you fallen behind with things and feel like you’re off track?
This is exactly what was happening for me at the time I recorded this episode.
What I share in this episode is exactly what I would say to my coach or if I were to call Renae and talk it out with her. But instead I decided to pull out my podcast microphone…
I was in the thick of feeling overwhelmed and overworking. I found myself re-working the scripts for the 5-Part Planning Series over and over again.
And that’s a sign to me that I’m getting in my own way and I’m off track. I felt the pressure feeling like I just need to do it “right”, I felt rushed and impatient. In this energy I know pushing through these feelings wasn’t going to work.
Tune in to hear the discussions I have with myself to so that I can get out of my own way and back on track with recording the 5-Part Planning Series.
I hope that this episode helps you when you are in one of these moments to not add a layer of shame... It’s so easy for us to have thoughts like “I shouldn’t be getting in my own way because I know better than this.”
I’m sure we’d love to always be on top of our work, knowing everything is moving in the right direction. But…
Of course we are going to get in our own way and of course we are going to get off track - no matter how smart we are. This is apart of being human.
So don’t make yourself wrong, don’t feel ashamed for it.
I want to invite you into the possibility that it’s normal for this to happen and nothing has gone wrong it’s just a matter of calmly getting yourself back on track.
Tune into this episode to hear how I work through getting myself out of my own way and back on track.
