My first ever blog

Here I am writing my first blog on my new website!

Well it’s not actually my first ever blog! I wrote one back in 2016 after I had run in my first ever running event. I remember feeling so inspired and had the urge to write. (Maybe I will share it on here one day). I have also written another few posts over the last few weeks while I have been learning how to build this website, but none of them felt right to publish either!

So today I thought! Let’s go, lets create a first blog that I would be happy to publish! Then the internal critic gets going, you’re no good at writing! It’s going to take too long! Maybe you should be writing an about page instead! And then the questions started… What do I write about? Do I write about hypnotherapy and it’s benefits? Matrescence? To I give tips on how to cope with anxiety? Negative self talk? habits? Coaching? The list goes on…

So here I am writing this blog, being honest with you that I am not finding it easy! But I am doing it anyway, because taking action is important! I am an over thinker and (as you can probably tell from the tone of this blog) often spend allot of time thinking about doing something, analysing it! Procrastinating on it! And then not actually doing it. This can leave me feeling exhausted and disempowered and not having belief and trust in myself!

It’s really common when we are just starting out with something new that it feels hard and we can get caught up in the detail and the need for it to be perfect or putting it off for another day! Humans aren’t keen on change!

Today I chose to take one small step and just start writing. Twenty minutes later I have written this blog! It feels good! I feel happy and proud of myself.

Is there anything you have been putting off?
