002 || Getting Started Before You're Ready


Listen Later

Hello everyone, welcome back to The Zen Station Podcast. Today's episode was another recording back in August 2020 about "Getting Started Before You're Ready: Social Media". When I first got my DSLR camera, I was so excited for the upgrades in content creation in comparison to the Iphone 7 videos I've been making. Creating with what I had at the time was just the process of dipping my toes into something scary and exciting. Although I didn't have the best equipment, or didn't feel ready, taking the first step in the journey was the most important thing to do. I think most people are afraid of the unknown of what they can't control, and that's okay too. But will you allow your fears control your life? That is the premise of this episode.


I explore getting over these blockages through three steps (applicable in all areas of life):


Step 1: Recognition of your why/purpose

The purpose of your path should be clear, or at least work towards bringing clarity.

  • Why do you want to start showing up online more? 
  • What is the purpose of your content? Is it for education, entertainment or both? 
  • Why do you make excuses? 
  • What are the things that are stopping you from getting started?

  • Step 2: Acceptance & Forgiveness

    When recognizing your purpose, the reason for you not moving forward should also be clear. Learn to accept these flaws, forgive & move forward with a clear space. 

    • What is it the I must accept to move forward?
    • What are my weaknesses & strengths? 
    • What are some things I can outsource to use my time better with what I'm good at?

    • Step 3: Action

      The most important step is to take continuous inspired action. 

      • What can you do to make it easy to get started? 
      • What's one thing you can do right now to move forward?
      • ex. Journalling: decluttering, brain dump, to do lists

        • To do lists can be small wins throughout the day which trick your subconscious mind to believe you've made an accomplishment: starting a domino effect for success
