Welcome back to In Residence with Keith and Laura. We are creatives and makers at heart, seeking to make change, create culture and build relationships for ourselves and people like us who choose to show up and dig a little deeper. Join us as we grow in our partnership and as individuals.
In this episode, we dig into the stuck feeling surrounding Laura’s project.
How to make progress when there are all the excuses in the world as to why I’m not making progress?
Trying to get started, keep momentum going, trying to silence the voices of criticism either self-generated or external, Laura wants to move forward with her project. And at the same time, there is a voice saying, “Sit down, not so fast. I’m too busy. I don’t have time. I got plenty going on.” How do you know now is the time to make a ruckus? Or, how do you know now is the time to wait and prepare for the ruckus to be made?
“I can get a lot done, but I’m stuck. I want to make a ruckus. But, I feel like I’m making it too precious. And there’s a part of me that says small, small progress isn’t enough, that that’s not a ruckus. That it isn’t big enough to make the change you want to make. And at the same time, I know that’s crap.”
The things we say we want to be doing. It’s time to stop saying I’m going to do them and start to do them. Making room in the schedule to do these things. Push outside comfort zones to do more than what’s currently happening.
When you start something new, it may not be easy. If you’re going to do what you are seeking to do, the change that you are looking to make, it’s pretty magical. So, why wouldn’t it be hard?
“I know right now you don’t want to do this, because you don’t think it’s enough, but you’re going to do it anyway.”
Thanks for joining us! Go Make a Ruckus.
