I've decided to use one of my hardest-to-navigate habits as a tool for reaching my goals.
I have a way of talking myself out of things I think could be good for me and I'm beginning my journey of going from "I could never do this, it's not meant for me." to "I was build for this!"

In all seriousness, I do think the mindset had is important and has great influence over how one perceives challenges and failures, though I think it's also important to be aware of what triggers such a thought or response, as just believing it can work out doesn't overwrite the hurdles that make their way onto the path.

I'm a very stubborn person, so I'm often evaluating my failures and critiquing my process in an attempt to figure out what's causing the issue and how best to approach it, ways to navigate it for my desired results, etc.

Today, I took note of just how much I can get written based on the tone I've chosen to write with, so, when speed is necessary, I now know to draft in a more casual/conversational way then make alterations in the following drafts until it's satisfactory.
This led me to see that a lot of what gets in my way is that I keep my eye too close to the final results, going into a first draft as if it's my last, which introduces unnecessary pressure.
And this also allows me to remember that I can adjust with each step forward, rather than spending so much time trying to get the first piece of the puzzle into it's final position on the board.
Like sure, you've seen the image on the box, but there's a lot to account for like the actual scale of the completed puzzle, similar faces, parts that are easy and cause false confidence in the rest of the piece.
Each step matters, and so too the way one approaches it.
Or maybe not?
What do I know?
All I know is what works for me and my brain that loves to over-complicate everything. Everyone has their own process and this is mine.

Regardless, I'm excited to finally feel like I'm taking steps forward. It has been my greatest shame these last few years.
