Trying is so hard

Of late, I have been trying to get into the practice of doing things that are new to me and make me feel a level of anxiety. While it takes a lot of courage to get over that initial resistance that I feel, it is not as stressful once I start doing the task, and it feels great once I get done with it.

However, I want to take a second to acknowledge how hard it is to keep going when you don't see results from your actions soon enough. That you need to keep doing the thing that is making you anxious, without the results you expected, over a period of time, before you see any kind of progress.

I never imagined how hard something like this could feel since I think by this point I would have already given up on the goal. But this time around, I do not want to give up too quickly and want to keep trying instead.

Please let me know if this connects with
