I find myself at a point where I struggle to take action. I now understand everything Richard and Zuleika talked about regarding perfectionism and procrastination. You don’t fully grasp it until you live it, and I’m living it now. At the beginning of the independent study period, I knew I wanted to take some time off, so I decided to take a week. Then another week passed, and I felt motivated but not enough to actually start my intervention. Now it’s the beginning of a new week, and I’m struggling to get the ball rolling.

In the past few days, I’ve had the chance to meet different people at various social gatherings. Whenever I describe the master’s program, everyone is very impressed, but of course, they always ask how my project is going. I get really nervous because I have ideas but still no tangible results. It’s hard, but at the same time, the solution is literally to go and do things. But there’s this fear—the fear they’ve been warning us about—of failing. What does it really mean to fail?

With all this in mind, I want this blog post to be my active intention to get the ball rolling again. Hopefully, by the end of the month, I’ll have lots of interventions and iterations to show.
