Trying random new hobbies has helped me become more comfortable with being bad and asking for help from people better than me. Everyone starts somewhere

I'm scared of lifting weights at my gym. Yesterday I played around with dumbells and kettlebells (I was shaking) and two "gym bros" just gave me warm smiles when we made eye contact and continued focusing on their own workout like everyone else. It was encouraging, felt like they were saying, you can do it, keep going. NOC!

Problems -> solution suggestions:
- Social disapproval -> Unlike ancient times, diversity is the thing that makes people more powerful than ever before nowadays. Do not hesitate to show up yourself.
- Spotlight effect -> No one cares: people are not thinking of us, their main focus is their lives.
- Perfectionism (keeping the bar high) -> Lower the bar to get started until you gain consistency, embrace the crabs e.g. just showed up at the gym.
- Overthinking -> - Analysis/action should be greater than zero. Means that as long as you produce something and take an action then overthinking is okay. otherwise, thinking is garbage.

I'd like to point out how very well directed the art on this video is. Absolutely every animation/lower third conveys the feeling of embracing and warmth. Kudos to the editing team, awesome work.

Damn, just now I was thinking about the resistance we're feeling when it comes to changing our life.

When consistent action is overshadowed by overthinking - not good. Overthinking can be allowed as long as ANY action is being taken. Brilliant, solid gold.🏆🔑

The editing is so amazing that I'm going to need to overcome my fear of how good it is

[AndreaLikesMusic]

Thank you. I am also an overthinker and can struggle with decision making. Framing it so formulaically is extremely helpful!

How long should I keep up consistency with level 1?

For example, if I am trying to write one LinkedIn post every day, how long should I keep up "Get Going" before I start with "Get Good"?

[Compsciuk]

Consistency above overthinking.. Great advice Ali! 🙌

[syedmuzzammil]

I was just thinking about starting something and was overthinking about it. Thanks for the video, very clear points.
