Big hump of dread preventing you from moving forward
======================
We all dread starting a new task especially when the task is huge and can
have a big impact. I myself needed to start preparing for researching law
internships for the following summer. Boy was I dreading it for some reason.
It would mean I would have to spend time learning about what firms were
there, assessing my qualifications to determine how likely of a strong candidate
I was, revising my resume, writing cover letters, preparing for interviews,
and the list went on.
As I started thinking about this more, I started dreading it even more. So I
decided to push starting the task. I’d push it off for the next few hours, next
day, next week, and so on. It finally came to a point where I realized I didn’t
have much more opportunity to keep dreading it if I really wanted to do well.
I knew I had a lot of things to do. I decided to make this dreadful task easier.
I just started. I didn’t think any more about it. I just decided to get the ball rolling
with whatever small task I could conjure up some effort to move forward with.
I decided to do some reading. I have to do reading on a daily basis anyway for my
job, so I decided to look at my school’s career services and determine the process
for their recruiting programs.
Once I did this, I started to get a little more excited. I finally got over that BIG hump
of dread. This one action led to me wanting to then research what firms were there,
and I just started thinking about the possibilities and opportunities out there. The
energy and momentum just started to pile on as I moved forward. This did not
happen all in one day, but surely as I progressed with doing a few more smaller tasks,
I started to realize how much I had gotten accomplished.
The other thing is as I was doing my part, God was doing God’s part. I started
getting leads to alums who were willing to help with opportunities at their firms.
Although when there is a big task in front of you and the dread of starting will
start piling on, often you just need to move forward with something small to
get the momentum and energy going.
Some times that one small task of putting some effort forward is the push you
need to get over the big hump of dread that has been holding you back.
