@Captain24 all things in their own time hun. I will say though, sometimes we're not ready. But we gotta do it anyway. Cos we'll never actually be fully ready. Kinda like when we're in the process of quitting smoking, and keep giving ourselves excuses like 'oh but this stressful thing is coming up so I'll quit after that' or 'I've got too much on to even think about it'. It's another process of letting go of unhealthy coping tools and replacing them with desirable ones that don't end up also creating problems as they solve them.
So in short - don't rush, don't over-push yourself, cos that's where we can accidentally create shame if we don't achieve... but also don't keep waiting 'till you're ready' cos that day may not come in the way you want it to. Like allllll things in recovery and in life, it's all about balance 😉
That whole 'fear of repercussions' is how we all end up suffering behind these masks anyway. We are basically funky lil squares getting forced through a round hole, and masking is where we're tryina cut our corners off. But our corners are some of our best bits!! Like stimming. How good is stimming?
Haha not a wild driver, I got very mildly distracted by a guy on my street and pulled in too quick. The previous tyre pop was from a bloody nail on the road. Nah I have only ever been in one accident that I was the driver in - I was 17 and clipped a semi on my way to high school lol. But yeah nah I'm a good driver I promise!! hahaha
Honestly I think all procrastination is connected to anxiety. So that makes sense!! I found this yesterday actually, seems super relevant!!
