How to break the loop of avoidance
Oh, hi friends!
Sometimes the simplest tasks are the ones we put off the most.
Cleaning! Organizing! Email! Phone calls! Quick assignments that turn into long assignments because you procrastinated! Basically anything and everything!
When I’m in that loop of avoidance, I ask myself:
When have I done something harder than this?
Usually, the answer is…all the time. So many times! Our memories are long. Let's exploit them.
Once you remind yourself of what you’ve achieved in the past, whatever’s right in front of you won’t seem as daunting.
So try to remind yourself of the hard(er) things. Let me know how it goes.
“Many people, particularly women, feel ashamed and embarrassed to admit that, deep down, they feel they are made for better things than their current role. They’re afraid this sounds boastful or arrogant to think these types of thoughts. But these thoughts and feelings are not something to ignore – they’re pointing to the fact that there is another direction waiting for you, one that will bring more joy, success, reward, recognition and satisfaction to your life.”
