Hi BlueDragon,
I agree that focussing purely on the present moment is the ideal, since much of the hesitation we experience is related to "what ifs".
But what if we reversed the question and asked:
Maybe your hesitation is trying to tell you something? Maybe there is a good genuine reason why you shouldn't be doing it?
What is stopping you from taking the next step?
Is it a real fear, that is perfectly reasonable? If you told me, your desired action was to go on holiday in a war zone, I might think your hesitation is justified and not something to beat yourself up about!
On the other hand, if your fear is based on a "what if" about something that isn't likely to happen or is not actually that significant, then you need to think about why it is causing you hesitation.
And remember, the brave person doesn't eliminate fear, they just act in spite of fear.
