Action brings clarity
One of my favorite coaches shared this little gem and it has served me well:
Action brings clarity.
My take-away from this is that when I’m learning a new skill or a new way of doing something, and I find myself playing it out in my head yet again, it’s probably time for me to take action. If I’m unsure of myself or afraid I’ll forget a certain part or am hesitant because I don’t know how something will turn out, then it’s time for me to consider taking action. Taking action will show me what I need to know. I can sit all day rehearsing in my head but when I take action, that’s when things become crystal clear.
Will I make mistakes? Sure!
Will I do it less than perfectly? You better believe it!
Will I learn something that I needed to know? ABSOLUTELY!
Many times I realize I was more prepared than I thought I was. Or that I just need to tweak one thing to make it better. Or it was only fear that was holding me back, and I can handle fear.
Taking action provides opportunity for practice, reveals what's missing, and boosts self-confidence!
So remember, the next time you find yourself in your head, trying to figure it all out before actually giving it a try — action brings clarity.
Ready to take action? I’ve designed the Clarity Coaching program to help you uncover the specific beliefs, thoughts and actions that block your access to more of what you want: be it loving relationships, financial security, vitality & wellness or meaningful purpose in your life.
