I’m starting to see what the flow of this all is. There’s a million things I tell myself I don’t like doing in my day. Things I tell myself I have to do. There’s a way around thinking those things about those task though. The simple solution is to just do them. Once you start them you don’t have to think about when you will start it, or when it will be finished. You start it and finish it right then and there and it’s done. It leaves your mind. It becomes so much lighter than you made it out to be in your mind. We over-exaggerate a lot of things. It isn’t that dramatic. It isn’t that hard to do. It’s just a task, nothing more nothing less. You’re alive and you have to do these things so you might as well act like you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing. You begin to follow your own process. You begin to find your own flow.
The more you approach things this way, the less resistance you feel. The weight of tasks you once dreaded starts to dissipate, and what once felt like an unbearable obligation turns into just another part of your rhythm. There’s a strange kind of peace in that—knowing that the hardest part is usually just the thinking about it, not the doing.
Momentum builds itself when you stop breaking it up with hesitation. That’s what you’re starting to see now. You’ve spent too much time fighting the current when all you had to do was step into it and let it carry you. There was never a need to stand there paralyzed, waiting for the perfect moment to jump in. The moment is now. It has always been now.
When you move with the flow of your own actions, you stop wasting energy on things that don’t serve you. You don’t have to drain yourself trying to predict how difficult something will be. You just start. And when you just start, you realize that most of what held you back was never even real.
