Why the resistance?

Even though I was really excited to start writing this blog/journal, writing (and publishing) that first one was hard. From building the site, it took a few days to get around to posting something. It wasn’t until I looked at my todo list and realised I hadn’t written anything that day, and one of my new year experimental habits I’m testing is to write everyday. So, with the self imposed pressure/urgency, I opened up WordPress, wrote what I was thinking, and it was done in five minutes. But what was with that hesitation? Why the resistance? It was probably a mix of fear, perfectionism, and a sprinkle of old limiting beliefs. Fear because of judgement, perfectionism because it’s my first post, and it has to be perfect right? Not really. Done is better than perfect in this case. Well, that’s just another thing I keep trying to tell myself lately. Another small step to improvement.
