Nothing is as powerful than just sitting down and doing it. I have been plagued by my perfectionism. even my mood has to be in the correct zone before starting something but that makes me not do anything. if you want to write, pick up a pen and a notebook. dont overthink. jut write anything that pops into your mind. sames goes with starting anything.

When I'm stuck or seem to lack motivation, I often force myself to start putting words on paper.
I just grab a notebook — not a digital device, gotta eliminate escapes and distractions — and start writing. Even if it it begins with "I don't know what the hell to write," at least I'm writing.
Eventually it goes somewhere.

i forced myself to sit at a coffee shop and write a blog post about perfectionism in a sitting, and I DID it. it was nothing special, but i don't really care. my goal this year is to do the things that intimidate me with less fear, and this was a tangible step in the right direction

this is a recommendation to myself: nothing and nobody is perfect—let that fact be freeing. write that first draft of the novel you’ve been thinking about writing even if the first draft isn’t great, keep working on that hobby you’re learning even if you feel out of your depth, try not to fret over the minutiae of everything.

The things you want to say no to, dress up, be there.
Dont force yourself to small talks or to mingle.
Just be there, find a familiar face, say hi.
That's it.
When you say no, people won't think that you're shy, they'll think you're not interested.
So when schedule permits it, be there.
At the parties, the student clubs, the hangouts.

I haven't been in a relationship my whole life, only ever dated, thinking about dedicating a part of my life to other people seems like such a task and a burden.
