Does this sound familiar to you? ….. You do all the things you can to help set yourself up for the best week. You get up ‘early’ & do your routines … You capture everything you want to get done on your list … whether that’s a nice fancy notebook where you go old school & write it down, or you tap tap tap away & input it into your somewhat more fancier system, which will help you be organised & get it done. But then at the end of some days, you find yourself down in the dumps, saying not so nice things to yourself & drowning your sorrows whilst staring down at the bottom of your cold latte mug ….. because some things didn’t quite get done like planned! Why is that? Of course, there’ll be times when ‘things’ come up that you didn’t expect, so you need to re-prioritise & adjust your plans.  That’s life & it happens. But if you keep noticing that you’re constantly moving the same things from one ‘to-do list’ to the next one … yet it’s still not getting done … maybe there’s something else going on. It could be down to FEAR. There’s actually 2 sides to the FEAR equation … and one side tends to get more time & attention by people … the fear of failure! You know … the things that you don’t do because … what if it doesn’t work out or you fall flat on your face! Well what about that other side … the Fear of SUCCESS? This is often neglected & not given enough attention.  But it’s what can be the real reason why sometimes we can hold ourselves back from actually doing what we say we’re going to do. Because … what if it DOES work … then what will that mean?&n
