Why We Wait

What are you waiting for, and what is sitting underneath that waiting?

In Episode 6 of The Way Back to You, I explore why we postpone beginnings, decisions and endings.

Sometimes we wait because we are afraid. Sometimes we wait because we need time to prepare. Sometimes we wait because we hope something will change. And sometimes we wait because we love deeply and want to know that we have done everything within our power.

Through personal stories about career, coaching, strength training, podcasting and one of the most painful decisions of my life, I explore the difference between conscious preparation and avoidance.

Reflection questions:

• What have you been waiting to begin?

• What story have you created to explain why you are not ready?

• Is your waiting producing preparation or avoidance?

• What are you afraid you might lose if you move forward?

• What might you lose if you continue waiting?

• What if readiness is not something you feel, but something you build You do not need to stop being afraid before you begin.

Sometimes action does not follow confidence. Confidence is created through action.

The Way Back to You is a podcast about self-trust, authenticity, courage, growth and purpose.
