Stop Trying And Start Doing
Have you ever eliminated the word “try” from your vocabulary?
I started doing it 2 years ago when I committed to write my book.
And let me tell you something…
It’s not easy!
BUT it really is a game changer.
Because, we say “try” way too much, that’s the truth.
AND most of the times when we say it…
It happens subconsciously.
So it really is a hard work to gain awareness of how often you are saying “try” either to yourself or to others.
In my case, I had been “trying” to write a book for years, but it just didn’t happen!
I was super busy, life got in the way and I got used to prevent myself –subconsciously– from moving forward with my writing by making up excuses that started like this:
“I’m trying to write everyday but I have so much work to do in Cinematic Composing that I can’t find the time”.
“I’m trying to finish this article but I just don’t feel creative today”.
“I’m trying to dedicate more time to my writing but it’s impossible to find a moment to do it with the company and also raising two kids all by ourselves”.
Etcetera.
I had a lot of excuses! I was an expert in the “I’m trying… but” field!
And you know what was happening with my writing?
NOTHING!!
Because I was self-sabotaging myself with those constant “I’m trying… but” statements up to a point that I was completely stuck and not moving forward at all in my career as an author.
It took me years to realize that I was actually leading my life from a victim mindset.
A victim mindset that was preventing myself from living my best life —which for me was integrating being a writer, an entrepreneur and a mom.
I just wanted to share today with you my experience and encourage you to start gaining a bit of awareness of how many times a day you make excuses like I used to do.
Because, I found out that...
The first step to start moving forward in your life and your career is by identifying those “I’m trying… but” excuses and then PROACTIVELY start COMMITTING to really DOING the thing (whatever it is for you). What's most likely to happen is that you'll start experiencing your true potential
By doing this, in my case I was able to write a book in less than a year and gain the confidence I needed to be writing these articles today.
What would it be for you if you let go of the “I’m trying… but” excuses?
