"While we are postponing, life speeds by." - Seneca

No pressure here; remember this, though, when taking a break. Even if you want to take a break, give yourself a limit to how long the gap can be. Say you are going on vacation and are going to enjoy a break from organizing your bedroom. Commit yourself to organizing the corner of the space when you return. Add it to your calendar for a specific date and time to remind you.

You'll never leave where you are until you decide where you'd rather be. ~ Unknown

Be realistic with yourself.  You are not going to move forward unless you have a plan. Go somewhere quiet, like a short weekend away alone to your favorite area, and write down your work, family, and personal life goals.

"A goal should scare you a little & excite you A LOT." ~Joe Vital 

There is a fine line between an unachievable goal and one that you can achieve but may scare you a little. Think of a plan that is outrageous in your mind. Are there steps you can see to get to this outrageous goal? Can you see the steps? Define the scary steps. Write them down. And, determine what you can do to make it less scary.

“Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.” ―Thomas Jefferson

We only learn when we are doing. If all the knowledge is in our heads, we can not implement what we know. Therefore, we must take a risk that it may not be the right course of action. But we will not know until we do.

“Action is the antidote to despair.” ―Joan Baez

When we stand still, we become stagnant in our lives, which can lead to feelings of sadness. SO, taking action will allow you to get out of the funk of being in a place we prefer to move from.
