In this YouTube short, the speaker reflects on a lingering fear tied to personal hesitation. They describe an out‑of‑body perspective, watching themselves pause and wondering if they need more time. Acknowledging that they took a two‑month break (December off), they aim to extend themselves grace while also feeling restless and energized. The core fear, they say, is the sight of themselves hesitating, and their response is to move one step closer to making a concrete decision.

Hmm. It's a really good question. I think the fear is only directed at this, what we've been discussing. It's almost like an out-of-body experience where I'm looking at myself going, what are you doing? Are you still? Oh, you need a minute still? I thought that was the minute. Okay. No, take your minute. It just feels a little like I'm scared of the fact that I haven't gotten going. But if I look at the big picture, it was, it's only been 2 months. Almost, you know, I took December off. And so I want to give myself grace, but I'm also ready and I'm restless and I'm charged up, right? And so I think the fear is only of watching myself hesitate at this point, right? So that's where the fear is coming from. And what I do about it is I try to get one step closer to just making the damn decision.
