Today, I want to talk about "waiting until you're ready." I heard a meditation on the calm.com app that talked about "waiting until your ready." This idea took on a whole new meaning for me in my first year of sobriety. And it continues to be something that I get to push through in stroke recovery when I’m faced with something hard.
I often talk about the concept of "turning off my wanter." The moment that "I don't want to" begins to form in my mind, I don't even let it finish. I simply get up and move toward "the thing." I don't give a voice to that dread inside me, and instead, link the feeling to immediate action.
Listen to this pep rally episode about breaking the cycle of hesitation and avoidance. Growth lives on the other side of discomfort; and, the best time to move is before you're ready.
