Facing cringey reasons
Sometimes just knowing your cringey reasons is half the battle, other times it’s the whole battle, or only one tenth. But the humility in facing them is worth the pain. Coming up from the depths to cringe, then troubleshoot, isn’t avoidant — it’s responsible.

Your behind beliefs might not be accurate, and anyways — who can feel motivated to run a race they’ve already lost?

But most of us are not so tightly past-bound. Instead, our past tethers us with loose reins, or we hold the past lightly in one hand as we reach towards the future with the other.
