Beginning.

There is incredible energy involved in beginning something brand new. The proverbial blank page, waiting to be filled…. the pressure to fill it beautifully leads to untold self-induced distractions.

The list of reasons to delay beginning can be endless.

 I need new shoes before I can start running.

 I need a full book plan before I can start writing.

 I need to research more before I can start designing.

 I need to make a cup of tea/tidy my desk/check my messages before I sit down and begin this.

 But the good news is that usually, once you have begun, the pressure to perform peaks. And then you can just get on with the business of doing.

Begin badly. Begin slowly. Begin self-consciously. Begin haphazardly. 

But Begin.
