Stop Waiting to Feel Ready: Ready Is a Decision, Not a Feeling
Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I’ll start when I feel ready”?
Whether it’s chasing a dream, launching that side hustle, having a baby, wearing the lingerie that makes you feel powerful, or finally prioritising your self-care… so many of us fall into the trap of waiting for “readiness” to show up like some magical green light from the universe.
But here’s the truth: “ready” isn’t a feeling. It’s a decision.
Why We Wait
We tell ourselves we’re not ready because:
-
We want everything to be perfect.
-
We fear failure or judgment.
-
We’re waiting for the “right time.”
But perfection doesn’t exist, fear never fully goes away, and the “right time” is almost always an illusion. If you’re waiting until the stars align, you’ll be waiting forever.
The Myth of “Feeling Ready”
The idea that one day you’ll suddenly wake up with zero fear and full confidence? Total myth. Most successful people didn’t feel ready when they began, they just decided to start. Confidence is built through action, not before it.
Think about it: the first time you learned to drive, did you feel ready? Probably not. You got behind the wheel anyway, shaky hands and all and now it feels natural. Life is the same way.
How to Decide You’re Ready....Right Now
Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, choose readiness today:
-
Shift your perspective.
Fear and excitement feel almost identical in the body. Reframe your nerves as a sign you’re stepping into something bigger. -
Take messy action.
Progress beats perfection every time. Done is always better than “someday.” -
Trust the universe (and yourself).
You don’t need to know how everything will unfold. Decide it’s happening, and the how reveals itself along the way. -
Celebrate tiny wins.
Every bold step you take is proof you’re further along than yesterday.
Moon Co. Takeaway
Waiting for readiness keeps you stuck in the same cycle. Choosing readiness is an act of self-love.. it’s you saying “I am worthy of this now.”
So go ahead: apply for the job, book the trip, launch the business, wear the lingerie set that makes you feel unstoppable. You don’t need permission. You just need the decision.
✨ The universe responds to movement. ✨
