For the most part, all this positivity works pretty well. But the flip side is that sometimes I’m trying so hard to be positive, I’m not feeling my actual feelings. And sometimes those feelings aren’t all sunshine and rainbows.
I can eventually tell I’m doing this because I find myself getting more and more stuck. I’m either circling around aimlessly, knowing what I should be doing but having a hard time settling in. Or, even though I truly believe that long shots can happen if you put in the work, I realize I haven’t been taking as many long shots lately. I’m holding myself back and starting to play it safe.
