I felt this one to my bones! I have a tendency to talk myself out of things more often than I'd like to admit. Sometimes it works to my advantage and sometimes I wonder if it's socialized conditioning in my brain saying "don't reach for too much." I have found that being mindful of how I feel before, during, and after I try something has been helpful in trying to understand the difference. Also, knowing that time is a non-renewable resource does put things into perspective . Love this one!
I definitely think we've been conditioned to not reach for too much. I think about the feedback and reactions people will offer when you're sharing a big, audacious dreams. For much of my life, the reaction was really discouraging, which stopped me from pursuing them.
I appreciate your thoughtfulness to the whole experience! It's reminding me that the few moments to reflect on the experience before, during and after are worth it even though my brain tells me we don't have time for that. And YESSS to time being a non-renewable resource! I've recently found myself infusing life into YOLO (thoughtfully) 😅
Thank you for reminding me of the power behind reminders 🙊 I quickly dismiss them but in reality, they work. Sometimes it's all you need to reset your mindset and make a more thoughtful decision!
I have come to discover what works for me when the initial excitement is gone and reality is settling in—take a pause, and ask myself: why do I want to do this and what outcome makes me happy?
You can do it Steph!
We all can do it if we find and nurture our inner motivation!
Ooo Yi Xue - that's the million dollar question. Honestly, I think there are many times where my intentions behind the project / goal are not pure of heart and I don't want to acknowledge so I don't slow down to create the space to reflect. But it's the most important questions to ask yourself. I'll be adding this one to my tool kit. Thank you!

Big hugs! Miss you!!
I've found that by reminding myself to not solely rely on those dopamine hits gives me the push to press forward until I discover my next anchor.
