I set up a little home studio to shoot some stuff for the next book. I typically hit a pretty good wall of anxiety before I start a big project. I’ve been learning to work on the project rather than fight this unknown. It’s a dance, not a war, as Elizabeth Gilbert says. It’s easy to hide in the nettles of fear, but it stings a lot more. Small action steps escalate into massive change. This works for just about everything, especially when it comes to the self. https://www.instagram.com/p/CBlxy_Olj_M/?igshid=hc9fzan2740w
