To hide.
To give yourself a back door when things get uncomfortable.
To make excuses why you can’t.
To make promises of when you will.
Dopamine hits are always just a click away.
Scrolling on the internet.
Adding items to your cart.
Superficial connections.
Creeping other people’s lives.
Reading and watching motivational & inspirational quotes and videos.
All of it.
But if you want to feel alive? Well, you’re gonna have to change things up.
Can you recall the last time you pushed yourself to do something outside of your comfort zone? Remember how incredible you felt?
What if today you looked for ways to stretch yourself? What if today you shook things up a bit and created a little self-imposed adversity?
Streeeeeeetch.
Have that conversation.
Express how you feel.

Breeeathe.
Respond compassionately.
Streeeeeeetch.
Take that class.
Try a different route.

Do the extra set … run the extra minute.
Strike up a conversation.
Make eye contact.
Check your credit score.
Set that appointment.
Get a massage.
Start the business.
Finish the website.
Write the thank you card.
Organize your space – There’s something soul-gratifying about cozing up with a book and coffee in hand in your newly-organized space.
It’s now o’clock.
No more someday’ing your life.
“Stop someday’ing your life. It’s now o’clock.
