It kind of hit me all at once. I was researching and reading and analyzing, etc. Making notes. Highlighting. Thinking about it. Etc.

It's counter productive. It is building fantasy in my head. It's creating a false sense of security. It makes me feel good, like I'm going to move on with my life in the direction I want.

That is counter productive because I'm not actually moving forward in reality. I'm moving forward in my mind. I turned into a self-help junky.

I'd recommend you take 2-3 tools and just stop. Stop coming here, stop reading, etc. The single best thing you can do is to just go out and implement them for a week.

And if you don't? Then at least admit to yourself you aren't ready to move forward. Focus on why. Or, just stop altogether. Seriously. Just go out and focus on a different skill - go join jujitsu or something as that will have more impact.
