Do you guilt yourself for not working, but AVOID work at the same time?<\/p>\n
Pretending (to yourself and others) that you\u2019re researching, or being productive in your emails\/Instagram for the 45th time today?<\/p>\n
Every time I avoid something of my work, it\u2019s because I\u2019m insecure about the results that will come…<\/p>\n

Do that.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s success. That\u2019s winning. That\u2019s clarity.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s moving forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
