You're ready - now.

𝗡𝗼𝘄 is the best time for you to do the thing.

I’m not sure what your “thing” is - maybe you need to call someone, shift a habit, pause for a moment, tell someone you love them, commit to a new goal, dance in the rain, hire a coach or mentor, play with Play-doh, file the paperwork, drink more water, write a book, try something new, schedule the appointment, clean the closet, record the video, take a risk… the possibilities are literally infinite, but the truth is that 𝗬𝗢𝗨 know exactly what your thing is and you probably have a ton of “𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀” why now is “𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲”.

But, I promise you now 𝗜𝗦 the time because it is quite literally all we have.

You are ready because, if you weren’t, then the desire wouldn’t be there in the first place. I know you know that, but knowing that and 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 it are two very different things.

If I’m being honest, I have always 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪𝗡 what to do, I just didn’t trust myself to 𝗗𝗢 it. I thought I needed to heal more, read more, learn more, experience more, do more and 𝗕𝗘 more before I could trust that what I knew in my heart and soul was actually 𝗙𝗢𝗥 me.

I’d tell myself that I’d be ready when I healed some more trauma, when I took one more course, when I finished the book, or (my favorite) I’d be ready on 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗬.

Hundreds of courses, books and Mondays later, I finally know for sure that it was never about any of those things. It was alway about trusting myself and allowing myself to take the next aligned step (even when it didn't feel safe and especially when there were no guarantees).

Things don’t get any easier because of the day of the week or our level of knowledge, they get easier because we 𝗗𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗗𝗘 that they get to be easier and we get started - today.

Looking back, I see so much irony in all the waiting.

 I remember waiting to tell people how I could help them because there were other people with more experience (meanwhile, I could’ve been doing all the things I do now so much sooner and I would’ve helped so many more people because no one can do my work like I do).

 I remember waiting to change my nutrition habits because I wanted to have all the food before I began (which led to years of disordered eating because I didn’t stop to acknowledge the fact that food wasn’t disappearing - I was just learning to love myself without it).

 I remember waiting to tell people things that were bothering me because I didn’t want to burden them (and learning that it was much more of a burden that I wasn’t saying anything).

 I remember waiting to work out because I didn’t want to be sore (I was sore anyway… I was just a few years further from my preferred level of fitness).

 I remember waiting to write my first book because I didn’t have “time” (and then writing it all in less than a week).

 I remember waiting to create my website because the URL I wanted wasn’t available and I was worried about what people would think of the one I chose (even though the story behind my URL ends up being something that people love most about my business).

 One that still hurts my heart a little was the one where I waited to do things because I am a mom. Obviously that is a role I take very seriously, but when I started showing up for myself and realized that my dreams and parenthood were not an either/or game, I was actually able to be more present as a mom. Plus, I know that I also have to lead by example with all of the things I already mentioned - I don’t want to accidentally teach my son to wait on his dreams and I definitely want him to trust that he can have it all.

Every good thing that I ever put off was delayed because of a lack of trust and a lack of faith. Once I put those two things back in the equation, I stopped waiting for Monday or some day and it is definitely more magical on this side.

I’d love to know and cheer you on while you take that initial leap of faith and if you feel stuck along the way, I’d be happy to talk about how we could work together to clear some of the blocks!
