I don’t know how to start over

So this is the thing: I would actually like to grow my Instagram & Blog because I have cool ideas that I know could work. However, I get so much anxiety I only do about 5% of them before I leave them unfinished, stop posting and come back three months later with little engagement and less followers. I often feel stupid because I KNOW it’s all in my head! I know my ideas are fine! But I can’t bring myself to actually do it! Now that I’ve repeated this cycle like three times, I honestly don’t know how to start over or make it any differently. Is anyone going through something similar or can think of any ideas?

I think it would be good to figure out why you can't do it. What's in the way? Once you figure out the obstacles (whether it's a feeling, thought or experience), you can understand that part and work that out to untangle the pattern. I imagine it's difficult to fall into a pattern repeatedly, I hope my words gave you some strength and wisdom! I wish you all the best and am here if you need to talk to anyone.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Rosalita❤️. What you say makes a lot of sense. I just feel like I’m not going to make it, that I’m too late, that I don’t have the resources and that people won’t like what I do.

If you are aiming for fun not follower, I dont know if this will help but I hope it will give you inspiration / idea

First of all I will made my mindset, I made this because I like to make this, I will upload and not care

I will ignore all notification, and follower. Just uploading.

If you keep staring at notification, you will start caring, overthinking and anxious, in the end stop doing it.

But if you just thinking, I upload this because I need a back up data I once made this, it will make things less pressured.

When you feel ready, and not overwhelmed you can check and reply, but when you feel bad just upload and submit, and never care, after all it just my back up data.

TDLR: Just think that blog as google drive, you just upload just in case you lost your original data. Dont see notification (silent it) if you aren't ready.
