Write a “thank you” note to your excuses.
Your excuse have kept you stuck, exactly where you're at. They've helped you live a comfortable, boring life, full of everything everyone else wants you to do.
If you don't acknowledge your excuses, they will never go away. So now is your chance to thank them and release them. Use this template:
Dear _(insert excuse)_,
Thank you _(insert ways that the excuse has helped you)______________.
Love,
_(insert your name)_
Here's my thank you note. Use it as a template to write yours. Then go out and start living your dream life!
