Monday Momentum: Stop Waiting, Start Building

“Stop waiting. The time will never be perfect. Things will always pop up. The best time to start is always now.” ~Anonymous

Here’s your dose of inspiration to start your work week. Waiting for the right conditions, the right tools, the right moment. The list of “right” can go on and on, and we may overlook things because we are waiting on right and perfect. What could happen if we shift from waiting for right and perfect to taking action from where we are, with the resources that we have?

Start now with what you already have. I have had my own struggles in this area, regularly pushing through thoughts and behaviors and reminding myself of what’s already in my tool box. For this week’s Monday Momentum, I am encouraging you to evaluate things, make a decision and take steps forward – no matter how small. Default thoughts and behaviors will probably creep in, you get to remind yourself of what you already have and why you desire to move forward. No matter the doubts, distractions, uncertainty or messiness you may be feeling and/or seeing, there’s also the possibility for learning and growth.

Progress over perfection. Show up for yourself and what matters most. It’s not always going to be big or loud, it might be tiny. And yes, that is absolutely fine if it aligns with what you want and desire. Don’t use someone else’s yardstick to measure your own progress. A reminder, you get to iterate on your first version. Just think about all the times you get a message that you have to update your phone, an app or a program. Here’s to you shifting from waiting to taking action!

Until next time….
