When You Don’t Feel Like It, Show Up Anyway

Aug 22, 2025

It’s about 74° in Los Angeles and I’m sitting on a bench, trying to get my life together. I just left Starbucks with some coffee in hand. Man, I love this city. You can’t beat a one-minute walk with a breeze like this.

But I’m foggy today. Like,  heavy.

I had all these great ideas a couple days ago. I knew exactly what kind of content I wanted to create and how I wanted to lay it out. I was excited about it. But today just feels,  off.

Honestly, I wasn’t even going to write today. But I told myself what I usually tell myself when I hit this place: Just start. Don’t worry about how it sounds, how it looks, if it’s polished, just start writing.

So that’s what I’m doing right now.

Yeah, there’s a couple of factors. I’m on a new health journey. My body is switching energy sources and I haven’t been hydrating the way I should. I drank some dandelion root tea and instead of helping, it actually made me more dehydrated. So today I feel a little better, got about 10 hours of sleep last night, but I’m still not fully me.

I’m pushing through this fog.

And it reminds me, this is what it’s like sometimes in entrepreneurship. Some days we feel on fire. We’ve got vision, clarity, motivation. And some days? We’re just trying to pull it together and show up. No matter what you’re building or where you are in your journey, you’ll hit this fog too.

But even as I’m writing this out, I feel a shift. My energy is starting to come back. That’s the power of our words. I had to switch my language. I was literally telling myself “I don’t feel like doing anything today.” But once I flipped that? Everything started changing.

So if you’re in a fog today—mentally, physically, spiritually, switch your language.

Start where you are.

Say something different.

Push anyway.

It might not come out perfect. It might not come out polished. But it doesn’t matter.

Show up for yourself, and when you do that, you show up for others too.

Push through the fog.
