How To Take Action
I would suggest starting by simply not worrying so much about what others think. Remember, everyone is busy with their own lives. When you stop worrying about others' opinions, you’ll have more time and energy to work on your goals.
A good way of doing this is by making a list of the things you're holding back on because you're afraid of being judged. Then pick one thing from the list and just start. It could be a small thing, but kicking it into action can be a big win for your confidence.
You also want to spend your time and effort on actions that really matter to you. Think about what you would do if you knew nobody would judge you. That's a clue about what you should pursue.
Don't wait for the perfect moment to start. The best time is now, because one day we won't have any more time left. Take that course, start that business, write that book, or make that call. Small steps every day lead to big results over time.
If you have a goal you're passionate about, break it down into small, manageable tasks. Focus on low-cost actions that can bring you closer to your goal. This could be as simple as reading a book in your field, reaching out to a mentor for advice, or dedicating 30 minutes a day to learning a new skill.
Recognize that living life trying to please others is not fulfilling. Instead, live for what excites you and makes you happy. When you focus on what brings you joy and satisfaction, you're more likely to succeed and feel content with your life.
