Isn’t it weird how it can be so hard to start writing on a blank page (or computer screen!), yet once the first few words are down, it seems to flow much more easily.
It’s as though the blankness makes the task seem somehow more enormous, more overwhelming than it might otherwise be. And those few friendly words that start the first sentence are like taking the first, gentle step towards your goal.
And changing your life is like that.
While you’re sat there, thinking about everything that’s going wrong, worrying about why it’s not working and feeling fed up about how hard you’ve tried, yet you’re still going round on the same hampster wheel, it’s unlikely you’ll feel motivated to get up and get started, sorting things out.
Yet there’s something simple that can really help.
