Good morning, my beautiful bans. And welcome to today's pep talk. So today's pep talk is all about

getting out of your own way today. What does it look like and how can you do it? So getting in your

own way, you can crop up in many areas of your life and in different thought patterns. So for example, thinking that a

task is too hard, like you're telling yourself, that's in the way too hard basket, so you don't

do it. Thinking that you need a full day of time to dedicate yourself to something and you're not

going to do that thing until you've got the time, you know, the I don't have time for this

until I have a, you know, a week off or whatever, that's getting your own way, thinking that you need more experience

before you embark on something, thinking that, oh, until I start, I have to be at this high

mind. And it's definitely easier said than done. But acknowledging that that's what you need to do

is the first step. What's happening here is that you're telling yourself, you're basically cock-blocking

yourself saying, this is not possible for X, Y, Z, or I'm not actually going to do that for X, Y, Z, or stop,

the brakes are on, no, you can't do that for whatever following reason that you put in front of

yourself. I won't be good at that, so I'm not going to do it. I'm not ready for that. I won't be good at that so I'm not going to do it. I'm not ready for that. I won't be

accepted. I will be rejected. I won't be able to handle that outcome. That is not for me because
