Why We Get Overwhelmed Instead of Taking Action in Our Creative Journey
The Real Reason You Feel Stuck (And How to Break Free)
Hello, Amazing Creators!šø
Do you ever sat down to start your YouTube channel, write that script, or record that first videoāonly to feel completely stuck? Like, no matter how much you plan, you just canāt seem to take action?
You tell yourself,
š "I donāt know where to start."
š "What if nobody watches?"
š "I need everything to be perfect before I begin."
And then? Days, weeks, even months pass⦠and nothing happens. Instead of creating, youāre caught in this loop of overthinking, doubting, and waiting for the āperfect time.ā
But let me tell you something⦠the perfect time? It doesnāt exist.
So why does this keep happening? Why do we get so overwhelmed instead of just taking action?
Letās break it down. And more importantly, letās fix it.
šØ The 3 Biggest Reasons We Feel Overwhelmed Instead of Taking Action
1ļøā£ We Think Too Much, But Do Too Little
Have you ever caught yourself watching a ton of YouTube tutorials, reading endless blog posts, and planning everything in your headābut never actually doing the thing?
Thatās because your brain loves learning⦠but it fears doing. Learning feels safe. Thereās no risk. But taking action? Thatās scary.
š¹ "What if I mess up?"
š¹ "What if people judge me?"
š¹ "What if I fail?"
So instead of starting messy, we convince ourselves that we need to "prepare more." And that preparation turns into procrastination.
š Fix It: Give yourself 1 day to research and 1 day to ACT. After that, just start. No overthinking. No waiting for permission. Just hit record.
2ļøā£ Perfectionism Is Secretly Holding You Back
Hereās the hard truth: Perfectionism is fear in disguise.
We tell ourselves:
š "I need the best camera setup before I start."
š "My content has to be flawless."
š "I should be 100% ready before I put myself out there."
But really, what weāre saying is: "Iām afraid of being judged, so I wonāt do it until I know Iāll be perfect."
Guess what? Perfection doesnāt exist. And the creators you admire? They didnāt start perfect. They started messy. They started scared. But they STARTED.
š Fix It: Challenge yourself to create one imperfect video this week. Not a āperfectā one. Just one. Done is better than perfect.
3ļøā£ Too Many Ideas, No Clear Direction
Ever feel like you have so many ideas that you donāt even know where to begin? You want to do fitness, cooking, vlogging, tech reviews⦠so you keep switching directions and never gain momentum.
Itās like trying to drive to 10 different places at once. Youāll never reach your destination.
š Fix It: Pick one niche, one focus, and commit to it for 90 days. No switching. No second-guessing. Just show up consistently and give it a real shot.
šÆ The Shift That Will Change Everything
Instead of saying, "Iāll start when Iām ready," say,
š” "Iāll start, and then Iāll get better."
Instead of thinking, "I need to be perfect," say,
š” "I need to be consistent."
Instead of worrying, "What if I fail?" say,
š” "What if I never try?"
Your creative journey is not about getting everything right. Itās about starting before you feel ready, growing along the way, and trusting that every small step adds up.
And trust meāone year from now, youāll wish you had started today.
So letās go. No more overthinking. No more waiting. Just action. š¬š
