Feel like you’re not ready? Still waiting for the right moment, the right energy, the right version of you to show up? Here’s the truth — you’re not stuck because you’re unprepared. You’re stuck because you’re still hiding.

In this episode of My Mind First, Paul Cotton tears the mask off the most common lie that holds us back: “I’m not ready.” You’ll learn why confidence doesn’t come before action — it comes from it. Backed by real neuroscience, lived experience, and emotional fire, this 10-minute reset will help you: • Understand the psychology of self-sabotage and invisibility • Shift from perfection to presence • Rebuild belief through visible, physical action • Lock in the moment with a body-based step that changes your state • Stop waiting, and start showing up — today

If you’ve ever felt like you were almost ready to become who you really are — this is your moment.

This is the episode that moves you. If you let it.

Most people quit right before something shifts.

Not because they’re weak — but because no one told them that the pressure always feels worst just before the change.

This episode is for anyone standing on that edge.

I’ll give you three grounded truths: – Why the breakdown happens – What not to do when it hits – And one step that can carry you through when nothing else will

This isn’t self-help. This is survival. And if this speaks to you, don’t keep it to yourself.
