Action, Fear, and Forward Motion

Action delivers. Belief is half of that deal and action is what brings all of those thoughts into a 3-D perspective. You must take a step forward and put beliefs into practice through action to get the follow through, rewards, and goal completion you want.

This can be incredibly easy or super difficult if you are neurodivergent. That is dependent on whether you can tap into hyperfixation or special interests and whether the mundane tasks that often accompany goals get in the way by requiring a lot of motivation. Finding an accountability partner, choosing to use external supports that are in alignment to you and to the goal, and integrating other factors can make a difference in getting to the action stage.

Regardless of your neurotype, fear also has a way of derailing our ability to take action. Many of us hesitate, pause, and sometimes completely stall in making movement towards a goal all because of fear. Waiting for fear to leave often involves more long-term sacrifice than we think. While careful evaluation and caution can help, deciding not to take action out of fear just eliminates a whole lot of possibility and potential outcomes that may be beneficial.

Bottom line…acknowledge the fear, figure out how to proceed safely, and then move forward while carrying the fear…it’s going to be there anyway and the longer you wait, the heavier it becomes.
