I’ve been doing bodyweight training on the dirty floor of my building’s computer lab for about a month.
I figured I would wait until I figured out which mat I want, then start all clean and Instagram-perfect on the right, new mat.
But I know my own excuses.
As my yoga instructor said last Friday, “come as you are.” I HATE this!
I’m currently staying at a domestic abuse survivor’s shelter. I put some major distance between my abuser and my kids but my abuser found out where I am within days. That’s all I can say: I’m still in a legal battle to protect my kids. Life is hard right now.
I would rather wait until I’m in my own place and I have a job with my brand-new bachelor’s degree in Business. I’d rather just focus on what I can get done and not talk about my struggles until they’re resolved. But I’m finding that waiting until things are perfect just isn’t realistic.
I’m going to resume chipping away at podcast editing. Post my process. Show up as I am, as much as I hate to.
Whatever it is that you’re waiting to resolve, whether it’s waiting on the “right” equipment to shoot a video, the credential before you use your voice, or for circumstances to improve… don’t wait on it. No one wants the sanitized, Photoshopped version.
Go for it.
