ONE THING TO TRY THIS WEEK: LET GO OF ONE LIE

?? “I’ll start when I have more time.” ?? “I’m not good enough.” ?? “I need to have it all figured out before I begin.”

Sound familiar? We all have that one lie we’ve been telling ourselves—the one that keeps us stuck, hesitant, or waiting for the “perfect” moment. I have procrastinated more times that I could count.

But what if you let go of that lie this week? What if, instead of holding onto it, you replaced it with truth?

Why We Tell Ourselves Lies

We don’t do it on purpose. Most of these lies come from: ? Fear of failure – “If I try and fail, I’ll look foolish.” ? Perfectionism – “I can’t start until everything is perfect.” ? Comparison – “Others are so much further ahead than me.” ? Comfort zones – “I’ve always done it this way, so why change?”

The problem? These lies hold us back from growth, opportunities, and progress.

Real-Life Lies We Need to Drop

?? Lie: “I’m not ready to speak at that event.” ? Truth: You’ll never feel 100% ready, but you’ll learn and grow by doing it.

?? Lie: “I need another certification before applying for that job.” ? Truth: You probably already have more than enough skills—apply and see what happens.

?? Lie: “Next week will be a better time to start.” ? Truth: There is no perfect time. Start today, even if it’s small.

Your Challenge This Week

?? Pick one lie you’ve been telling yourself.

?? Replace it with truth.

?? Take one small action based on that truth.
