When Will I Feel Ready? The Myth of Readiness
Read if you want to…
Learn why you keep waiting to feel ready.
Recognise the importance of micro-courage.
Understand what makes taking action (even when you don’t feel ready) feel easy.
How many times have you thought… “I’ll do it when I’m ready”?
Whether it’s feeling ready to finally quit and change jobs. Ready to start the business.
Ready to leave the relationship. Ready to go all-in on the idea you’ve been thinking about for months (or even years).
The truth is waiting for this moment when hopefully it’s all going to fall into place, usually just results in more waiting.
Let me explain the myth of readiness to you and how it might be keeping you stuck.
Why We Wait to Feel Ready
We’re wired to crave safety. Your brain is literally designed to protect you, not to help you grow, so of course it tells you, “Not yet. Wait until you feel more certain.”
And probably for you (and everyone else you tell) this feels sensible:
More planning = less risk
More time = more certainty
More preparation = more success
But waiting creates more waiting, which leads you to feel more frustrated, more confused and more stuck.
Micro-Courage > Feeling Ready
Readiness doesn’t arrive before you start, it builds as you go. Confidence comes after the action, not before. The real shift isn’t about waiting until you feel certain, it’s about cultivating micro-courage.
The willingness to take one small, brave step without certainty.
The decision to trust yourself to move forwards even when you don’t feel ready.
Rewiring Your Brain & Nervous System
This might make sense on a rational level but how do you actually do this in practice, this is what my client’s ask me all the time.
In order for you to take action with ease.
Feel more confident backing yourself and your choices even when others question it.
And actually make the progress you desire in your life.
The solution isn’t about creating another plan. The solution is rewiring your brain and regulating your nervous system, so it feels safe to take the next step. Without this it will constantly feel like a battle.
Ask yourself:
Where in my life am I waiting to feel ready?
How would my life look and feel different if I stopped waiting?
If you’ve been waiting for a loving push to go for it. THIS IS IT!
Because you deserve to live the life you dream of but you need to take that first step to get there.
