how do i stop waiting and starting living?

from Live A Little with Nikki Lilly · host Nikki Lilly/W!ZARD Studios

on this episode of live a little with nikki lilly... nikki is getting real about something she's been spiralling about recently: how her world has become very, very small, and how she keeps waiting for the right moment instead of actually living. nikki opens up about living life like it's a waiting room - waiting to feel better, waiting to be less tired, waiting to be more confident, waiting for some perfect version of herself that doesn't exist... she gets honest about shutting down ideas before they even begin and accidentally living as if her life hasn't really started yet. nikki talks about being on autopilot and how her brain focuses on the one bad thing that happened instead of acknowledging the ten minutes she sat in the sun. she reflects on treating life like a draft - a temporary version that's not quite ready yet - and how we postpone joy for weekends that never come and save outfits for better versions of ourselves. this episode is full of practical, gentle ways to stop waiting and start living. nikki shares her list of things she wants to start doing and she talks about the power of nature, doing things badly and imperfectly and the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique for feeling more present. if you've ever postponed your life until things calm down, or saved spontaneity for a future version of yourself... this one's for you. don't forget to subscribe and don't miss new episodes every thursday!
