I started my own business several months ago and not a whole lot has happened with it since then — I truly believe in this idea and I know with some hard work I can make a small living for myself and add a little more positivity to world, but for now it sits and waits for me to do something about it.

I think I’m stuck in a standstill cycle that looks a little something like this: insecurity —> depression —> inability/avoidance —> guilt —> anxiety —> insecurity…

The question of course is obvious: how do I break this cycle? 

I’ve been trying for a long time to work on my guilt and to not feel guilty when I haven’t done what I want or need to do; but it doesn’t seem to be working and trying to be kind to myself only seems to fuel my anxiety…I need a new approach. 

I’m going to try to tackle that inability/avoidance stage head-on over the next few days and see if that starts to interrupt the cycle; perhaps, forcing myself to ‘Just Do It’ (thanks Nike) is key in beating this cycle and moving forward with my awesome business idea — wish me luck 🙂
