Facing an imaginary foe

Hey mate,

I’m facing an imaginary foe that’s stopping me from writing daily emails.

I keep telling myself I should switch to Convertkit. It feels a bit more “off-the-cuff” and these beehiiv posts seem too official.

But… now that I think of it.

This is similar to the reasons people don’t ever get started on anything.

We all have these things we make up as to why we can’t do certain things.

Certain things we know will benefit us.

For me, it’s the platform i’m on.

For you, it might be the job you’re working…

Or thinking you don’t know enough…

Or because you’re scared of what other people think.

Don’t get me wrong… I struggle from this too.

Half the time I’m scared to post on Instagram because of this.

I contemplate starting a new page because everyone from HS follows me and I want a different audience.

I don’t want to mess up my “aesthetic”.

Or because people might judge me if a post “doesn’t do good”.

But all of these are just arbitrary things and stories we make up in our mind.

In reality, no one cares as much about you as you.

Everyone is too busy worried about their own life, problems, and insecurities.

Things don’t have to be perfect to start.

They can be messy. And that’s okay.

Don’t worry. It may sound like i’m talking to you… but really i’m talking to myself.

From now on, I will be doing my best to write a daily email.

It helps me to get these thoughts out and break limiting beliefs.

But I want to hear your thoughts…

Should I do it on this platform, where EVERYTHING I say is recorded forever and ever until the end of time…

Or switch to Convertkit, where only the people who are on my list get an inside peak into my mind?

Hope to hear from you.

Cheers

Mau
