Procrastination is such a problem for most of us, and leads us into busyness and mindless time wasting – getting lost trolling the internet, obsession with social media and technology – always moving and going nowhere.

Not because we are lazy, but because we are afraid .

Afraid of the “what ifs” : what if I fail, what if i allow myself go do nothing ( i might hear what my inner self knows to be true.)

Only by silencing all these distractions and allowing time to do “nothing”, can we actually move towards creativity and authenticity.

As you said , just get started . If you ” fail “, so what. You are moving forward towards being, not just existing

It helps to know there are so many fellow risk takers willing to do the thing badly. Then turn out to be "not terrible".

My characters begin to speak to each other and show me what they need to do. I need the stillness to watch and listen.
