🎤 Behind the Roar | January 31, 2026
Have you ever had something you needed to do that felt so overwhelming or so heavy you just couldn’t bring yourself to start, let alone finish it?
I have something. I actually have a few somethings. And I think about them all the time, but the thought of diving into the depths of those things and the cost of the emotional expenditure — let’s just say I’ve become good at excuses for why I haven’t done them, yet.
But I had an epiphany today. For the “few somethings” I deliberately avoid, it’s no longer just procrastination weighing me down.
It’s being buried in “yets”: I haven’t started that, yet. I haven’t finished that, yet. I haven’t ordered that, yet. I haven’t put away my laundry, yet.
I’ve been putting some things off for so long that the overwhelming sense I have about actively progressing on those tasks is no longer just mild angst and discomfort. It’s preventing me from allowing new things, new adventures, and new experiences to enter my life!
I need to clear space in my head and my heart, by finishing all of the “yets” that have piled up. And once I start to move each item from the “yet” column into the “done” column, I will have space for new excitement and opportunities to come pouring in.
If you find yourself buried in “yets”, consider a tiny, small step you can take that will allow you to start progressing forward. Let’s clear up space both mentally and physically in 2026 so that we can allow new experiences to take hold in our lives.
I’m unburying myself from my “yets”. I hope this encourages you to do the same.
— With Gratitude,
Ronda 💛
