Ep 59 - What if you don't wait until you feel ready?
from Showing Up · host Halina
Back in Spain again for a while, I took my phone down to the beach on Monday morning to test my writing system in a new environment.I had no topic or clear idea what to talk about. And definitely some resistance before I left the house.But I went anyway.In this episode, I’m sharing what happens when you start creating before you feel ready. Before you have anything meaningful to say. I talk about the resistance that shows up (even when we know something works), how momentum is created through imperfect action, and why waiting for readiness can quietly delay creativity.Sometimes the first few minutes feel like rambling. Like mental morning pages. Random observations. But if you stay with it, something shifts. An idea appears. And often, that one small idea is all you need for the week.We also talk about:building momentum through tiny stepscreating a “container” for your creativitybecoming the kind of person who takes actionand treating your work like an experiment instead of a testIf you’ve been waiting to feel ready to start something (a podcast, a blog, a creative project) this is your reminder that readiness rarely comes first. Action does.I hope this episode encourages you to take one small, messy step today.And if you’d like help figuring out what that first step could look like for you, I’d love to brainstorm with you.***Join “3 Days to Create Your Mini Course” here ➡ https://three-days-to-creating-a-mini-course.teachery.co/mini-course-sales-page🌿 If you’re looking for a simpler, calmer way to grow your online business, I’ve created a FREE guide for you:The Simple Way to GrowA gentle system based on three simple steps: Share → Connect → SupportIt will help you focus on what actually matters, without trying to do everything at once.You can download it here:👉 https://cherryfarmer.gumroad.com/l/qatsrp
