SECOND-GUESS
Don’t overthink your ideas. Don’t wait. Don’t doubt. Don’t look back.
Those are some very negative admonitions. Challenge to self: can I state the same concepts in positive terms?
Don’t overthink your ideas — go with what ya got.
Don’t wait — start now.

Don’t doubt — believe in you.
Don’t look back — look ahead.
There are some very scary things going on right now. I am trying really hard to remain positive and to focus on things that I can do, rather than worrying about things I can’t change.
I am so lucky, so privileged, so comfortable. I keep reminding myself to never, ever take even one day for granted. I had a good supper, and a good work-out. I have a clean, safe bed. Right outside the windows, the stars are scattered across the night sky. At dusk, the bright crescent moon had seemed far away, and Venus had kept guard at her side. Later, the stars and planets stayed high — the moon got much bigger and oranger, and hovered near the horizon.
Tomorrow is the day I begin this new year — with hopes and plans and dreams. I just have to believe in me — I will not second-guess myself and every goal I have set. I’ve done a lot, and I can do more!
