Just. Start. (100 Days to Brave - Day 5)

"Saul said to David, 'Go, and the Lord be with you.'" - 1 Samuel 17:37 NIV

So it's a pretty known fact that I, Kelly Marie Hinseth, am a procrastinator. I LOVE putting things off till later and letting "future Kelly" deal with it.

Return that phone call or text? Eh, let Future Kelly handle it. Clean that room? Future Kelly's got it. Edit that story for work? Future Kelly is all over it.

Present Kelly wants to sit on the couch and scroll through Tik Tok till she questions her existence.

But it is reminders from Annie's chapter today that the hardest part of doing something is getting started.

"The moment you take that first step, little seeds of courage begin to sprout in your heart." - 100 Days to Brave, chapter four.

Most of the time it takes getting before God and asking Him for the strength to start and get through that thing.

My advice for today is to go after that thing. Open that project and start editing. Start writing that blog post and share your heart with the world. Have that conversation.

Once you start, I promise you you'll get through it.

My mentor Laura Okmin always ends her emails "with a push and a hug."

With a push and a hug,

Kelly.
