Day 75 felt like standing at a familiar edge.
The practice was still going on – steady, imperfect, present.
But today, something else surfaced alongside it: a quiet urge to finally begin something I have been thinking about for a very long time.
The Loop of Questions
My mind did what it does best – it questioned everything.
Am I ready?
What if I fail?
What if I don’t do it properly?
Where do I even start?
What will people think?
So many questions.
So many reasons to wait.
I realised I’ve lived in this loop before – thinking, planning, doubting… and never truly starting.
The Inner Conversation
Today was filled with self-talk.
Not the harsh kind – but the honest kind.
I spoke to myself gently:
You don’t need clarity for the whole journey.
You just need to take the first step.
Then another voice appeared – calmer, firmer:
Just do it.
Stop overthinking.
Learn while doing.
That voice felt wiser.
More grounded.
Choosing Action Over Overthinking
Mindfulness helped me notice what was happening.
I wasn’t afraid of the work.
I was afraid of starting imperfectly.
And yet, mindfulness also reminded me:
Perfection is not the goal.
Progress is.
Today, I chose action – however small – over endless thinking.
Confidence Grows After We Begin
I realised something important today:
Confidence doesn’t come before action.
It comes because of action.
Waiting to feel confident has kept me stuck for too long.
Starting – even with doubt – is how confidence is built.
What Day 75 Taught Me
• Overthinking delays growth
• Questions don’t disappear before starting – they fade while doing
• Self-talk shapes direction
• Small steps are powerful
• Beginning imperfectly is better than not beginning at all
Closing Reflection
It wasn’t about big achievements.
It was about an internal shift.
From hesitation to intention.
From fear to curiosity.
From thinking to doing.
I’m still learning.
Still practicing.
Still talking myself forward.
And today, I chose to begin.
One mindful step at a time. 🤍
