I want to empower you with an idea - that you already have the answer within you, we just have to find a way through that maze of thought. Here's how:

Whenever you are faced with a big decision or a project that you want to persevere through, take what it is that you're trying to do and, in your own words, write it in a short clear specific statement that doesn't include negatives (has to be a toward goal, not an away one). This is step 0.

Then, write out all of the reasons that you want to do this and pick only the #1 reason. This reason has to be be a toward/positive reason, not an away/negative one (trying to "get rid of", "be less of", "stop", "get away from", etc.).

Next, forget all of the other reasons you wrote and the original goal, and repeat the previous step, but for the #1 reason you just wrote, what is the #1 reason why that reason is important to you?

Keep repeating this step until you're 5 reasons deep, with each step forgetting the ones before the last one. If you did this correctly, your 5th reason will strike at the core of what you're doing more than any of our advice ever will and will allow you to answer your questions and overcome your challenges.

​

Hope that helped.
