My name is Selah and I currently live in Washington state (USA). I’m working to find my way back to work after burning out from starting a COVID-motivated business without a plan. I have experience with this program: I completed the first three days during the last session, but I dropped the ball. I intended to pick it up right away, but instead, I kicked it into the woods and have been wandering around ever since, trying to navigate through the underbrush of distractions and doubts that have clouded my path. If I’m being honest, it wasn’t a one-time slip (or kick); it was a pattern. I started strong, felt the early momentum, and then let friction, resistance, and distraction take over. Instead of pausing and re-engaging, I checked out. And the longer I stayed out, the heavier it felt to return. I’ve been trying to embrace the reality that “kicking the ball into the woods” isn’t the end of the story unless I decide it is. The work isn’t lost; it’s just been unattended. The reps I did still count. The awareness I built is still there. I’ve spent enough time overanalyzing why I dropped the ball, and I’m refusing to allow the shame I felt for not finishing the first time to keep me from starting again. I’m walking back into the woods to pick the ball up and restart. Because the only way this program - and my life - works is if I keep showing up…and that part is still completely within my control. (I’ll probably bring these two senior pups into the woods with me to get the ball, and they’ll have a ball. 😋 Jasmine (L) and Brody (R) will be celebrating their 15th and 13th birthdays on the 29th!)

I wasn't able to join at 3am my time 😅 but I just watched the video and worked through the questions with the AI. It's got a lovely tone, incidentally. Very kind and encouraging. 🧠 Biggest insight: I struggle with moving forward with things that really matter to me because I internalised that perfection was a requirement for acceptance as a child, and I am personally responsible for foreseeing and mitigating every threat, including other people's feelings, reactions, and choices. It sounds ridiculous on the page, but you know what's more ridiculous? Putting the responsibility for regulating grown adults on a six year old child. ⚡️ My open loop is: cutting back aggressive large plants threatening to break my garden bed. 💛 One word for how I feel right now: Overwhelmed.

In my introduction post, I shared an example of how I’ve been sitting on a bathroom renovation for a long while (I’ve got most of the supplies/materials and the time) but simply wasn’t taking action. Last week I found a good price on a stone slab for my new countertop, and the fabricator/installer turned it around so much faster than I anticipated, so I was forced to AT LEAST remove my old backsplash and countertop so he could install the new one. That compelled action. I had some frustrating discoveries yesterday so was discouraged by my lack of progress. After our video this morning (for me), I decided to work on the questions right away (but waited till evening to allow for further reflection). The last thing I ever want to do is remove tile from floors or walls, so I was tempted to not take action on the bathroom, but I decided to “take the pain upfront.” As a result, I removed most of the floor tile and prepped to remove the window. There’s no turning back now! PS. The first picture is a great illustration of why removing tile is the last thing I ever want to do. :)

⚖️ The belief that's been holding me back most: "This shouldn’t be this hard,” paired with, “I should be able to figure this out.” 📍 Where it came from: I’m honestly not sure…but maybe being the youngest of eight kids and often feeling like I had to figure things out on my own. Or maybe because I was always told to “look it up” (in the encyclopedia/dictionary, etc) when I asked a question. ;-) ✨ My new code: "Ah, I’m in the friction phase,” and “Some parts of this are mine to solve. Some parts aren’t.” 🔮 My Future Self statement: "I am the kind of person who builds meaning(ful things) - carefully, correctly, and sustainably. 💪 Debugging in progress...
