Control your present feelings - and get sh*t done!

I’ve often experienced not being as productive as I would have liked. This is often because my thoughts and emotions suddenly take over and stop me from reaching my goals.

The problem is that, as humans, we can’t always control our emotions, which is why it’s natural to overthink everything or get stuck in the process. However, this is the worst thing we can do as entrepreneurs, because it can prevent us from achieving our goals.

While we can’t control our emotions, we can get to know them better and focus on our mindset.

The other day, I was listening to my favorite podcaster, Sarah Arnold Hall, who shared that there are 5 emotions that could impact why you are not taking action. These emotions are:

Confusion: If you think, “I don’t know where to start.”

→ Start small. Pick one simple action and do it. Clarity comes from doing, not overthinking.

Overwhelm: If you think, “There’s just too much to do.”

→ Break it down. Turn the mountain into pebbles. Focus only on the next step.

Self-doubt: If you think, “Can I really do this?”

→ Prove yourself wrong. Action builds confidence—not the other way around.

Fear: If you think, “Am I good enough?”

→ Feel it, do it anyway. Growth lives on the other side of fear.

Lethargy: If you think, “What if it goes wrong?”

→ Stop thinking “what if” and instead think “what’s next?” Movement kills overthinking.

So next time you set a new goal for your “future self,” the process often looks like this:

Dream it → Plan it → Do it → Learn from it → Finish it → Celebrate it → Repeat.

It sounds pretty simple, right? I believe you can achieve anything you want, and there are no limits to what you can accomplish. For example, if you want to go to a fashion show but have no experience, learn a skill and master it to perfection. Build a network with designers, clothing brands, students, buyers, content creators, and creative people. Start offer your services, and boom - suddenly, you’ll be invited to events and one step closer to archive it!

It’s really only ourselves who stand in the way of our dreams! So get yourself together and do what it takes. Often, we’re closer to our dreams than we think we are!
