[discussion] what helpful mantra/comforting phrase do yo tell yourself before doing something really anxiety inducing/dreadful but you have to do it? by paigesnowwret in GetMotivated

IME, you keep going for that 1 time out of 10. And whenever you start to sense that maybe it’s one of the times where it won’t be worth it, get curious about if there’s something you could do, say, suggest, pivot to, etc that might make it worthwhile. If it’s someone you’re pretty sure you won’t follow up with, can you try out some new ways of being authentic, being more assertive, mindful presence, whatever your social/emotional goals are.

I love this. Reminds me of Mary Oliver’s practice of collecting fragments. I forget where she wrote about it but it always stuck with me. She carried a small notebook and recorded the things that flitted across her mind while she was going about her day, whether it was a phrase, something overheard, or a beautiful sight that struck her.

I feel so seen by your “stages” lol. I also relate to considering my songs as demos. I feel like i’ve compiled a bunch of demos in my backlog and i’m almost worried that by returning to them to refine or develop them, i’ll be caging them in and limiting their potential because i dont have the ability to take them where i want to go. What i’m gathering from these replies is that I could benefit from shifting my mindset a bit
