James 4:17 If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.

Today’s article is not a processing of emotions but more of acknowledgement of things I have avoided to get done. Call it fear, procrastination. James calls it sin. Regardless- this year has been one where I have seen the parts of me where I know what to do- but I stand frozen before it. As if afraid of the change or success before me. SO I write it all out like a check list. For this upcoming birthday- my desire is to do the hard things and to finally move toward the doing of growth. No longer just speaking – so it begins. I don’t have to know where to start, just need to start. I have avoided for far too long. Its time to just do it!

A list of a few of the things I’ve been avoiding

A finance review – a deep dive & action changes

Apply for jobs

Establishing an exercise routine

Removing subscriptions that I no longer need or do not use

Reviewing my giving and changing accordingly

Keeping a condensed calendar

Complete my taxes

Get my hair trimmed

Putting my house up for rent this summer

Reaching out to my network connections – I know the ones long overdue( POW & RE)

Putting a plan in place to upgrade and elevate my wardrobe

Selecting a therapist for me and other emotional support like EMDR, regular journaling , etc

Deep Clean of my home and a purge

Fixing my shower and doing the fix it projects

Making my house a home by decorating my living room

Memorizing specific scripture for specific lies I am combatting
