From an eating disorder, to relationship fears, this helped Hilary Lauren turn life’s mountains into molehills.
… this little sentence can give you the shot of courage you need to get through the moment. It ‘s been a silver bullet solution for me.

This last couple of years sank the putt for me. I was tired of feeling emotionally battered, as if I’d just climbed into the ring only to be clobbered again and go flying out over the ropes. I wanted to triumph over so much that I had merely lived through. So I developed a philosophy, a mantra, a simple saying that has moved me over mountains. “Do it now, and worry about it later.”
When you are unsure, afraid, held back by anything irrational in your life, this little sentence can give you the shot of courage you need to get through the moment. It ‘s been a silver bullet solution for me.
For years I craved meat, but my eating disorder dictated I shouldn’t indulge. I resisted for a long, damn time. Weight dropped off, I couldn’t climb a flight of stairs without panting, my iron level bottomed out. I wanted to get better, but nothing and no one I had talked to, reached me sufficiently enough to make a difference.
I decided after a few sessions with the psychologist at the eating disorder center that I would silence the inner me who I knew was full of BS when it came to the silly rules of eating I had made up. I wanted a burger. I wanted a steak. I wanted to enjoy a normal meal with my family at the dinner table and not feel like a freak, or that I had to defend the scant content on my plate.
I applied my saying and went on to overcome my eating disorder. When I shut my mind up and did it anyway, I was scared taking that bite. Reintroducing meat to my body was a frightening, delectable, finger-licking ride. After I ate the burger, I reassured myself I would be fine, safe and healthy. I was. And I was triumphant.
Taking the one step to do it, and then proving all would be okay, fueled me to get to the next goal.
I use this saying all the time now. It doesn’t matter the situation. Speaking my mind when I fear repercussions, moving to my loved one’s side when I need reassurance but dread rejection. Do it. If it doesn’t work out, then worry about it.
Apply for that job, you’ll figure out the next step when it becomes clear.
The next time you are tempted to hole up inside your house, or you are frozen with indecision, do what you know you should do, make the right choice worrying you. Think about what happens later. A lot of the time you won’t even have to, because what comes later is usually great.
