I came up with a cool idea for a book!

And I am really scared that I won’t write it.

Super scared actually.

Because it is one of those ideas where you picture yourself in 20 years having sold millions of copies with tons of fans and a huge legacy of literary goodness that touches the world in a magical way. (I’m talking JK Rowling status)

That sort of book idea.

And I have never written a book before.

And I am scared that if I try to write this one, I will find I am no good at it.

Not the writing part, that part I think I can figure out.

It is the working part that scares me.

Since starting Nimbly I have had to face down some of the worst habits in my brain.

Habits like freezing up under pressure, numbing when stressed, and procrastinating when intimidated.

Now that I found this incredible story inside of me, I am dreading the onslaught of bad habits that will surely rear up when my fingers hit the keys.

But I do have one thing going for me.

I’ve already faced them down a few times.

I faced them down with starting my business, healing from trauma, and with learning how to live healthy (like vegan and burpees kind of healthy).

All three are in the beginning stages of change, but, so far so good.

So, I think if I just do what I do in those areas I will be okay.

And all I do in those areas is: get started.

What I have found is that the hardest part is getting started, from there it is super easy to work hard.

If I just get started every day I could write this really cool story.

And from my experience with Nimbly, chances are only a few people will read it and I will only be the next JK Rowling in my own head.

But I also know from my experience that it would still be worth every second of my time.

Because following through on something you care about is the ultimate act of self love.

And who doesn’t need more self love?

Thank you!

I make videos that help people change their lives. Not the weird life coach kind that promise 30 day transformations or deliver silly one liners from other people’s work.

The kind that talk about the hard stuff in a way that somehow makes really dark things like mental illness, trauma, depression, and anxiety funny and light and exciting.

Never heard of videos like that? Neither had I. So I made them.

Check them out and don’t be shy. Feedback from love is my favorite thing. Leave a comment and let me know how I can repay you for your time.

xoxo,

Nim
