Hesitation is a natural human response. We all experience it at some point in our lives. But when hesitation becomes chronic, it can hold us back from reaching our full potential.

If you find yourself hesitating all the time, it’s important to understand why. Are you afraid of failure? Are you worried about what other people will think? Or are you simply overwhelmed by the choices you have to make? This is where some self-exploration and even “shadow work” can help you assess your relationship with hesitation. Is it healthy or chronic?

Oracle or Tarot card activity: Ask the cards what the root cause behind your chronic hesitation is. What is a sign to look for to signal that you are hesitating? What is behind this current bout of hesitation – is it rooted in a real need to pause or is it rooted in a habit of indecision? What are the steps to move past this moment of hesitation? Or, how to overcome chronic bouts of hesitation?

Once you know why you’re hesitating, you can start to take steps to overcome it. Here are a few tips:

1. Identify your fears. What are you afraid of happening if you move forward? Once you know what you’re afraid of, you can start to challenge those fears and develop strategies for overcoming them. Do divination to explore why you have these fears. 

2. Set realistic goals. If you set your sights too high, you’re likely to feel overwhelmed and give up. Instead, break your goals down into smaller, more manageable steps. This will make them seem less daunting and more achievable.

3. Take action. The best way to overcome hesitation is to simply take action. Don’t wait for the perfect moment or the perfect plan. Just start moving forward, even if it’s just a small step. A small step is moving forward – remember that! 

4. Trust yourself. You have the skills and abilities to achieve your goals. Believe in yourself and your ability to succeed.

Hesitation can be a powerful force, but it doesn’t have to control you. By following these tips, you can overcome hesitation and move forward with confidence.
