A Line I Heard

"What did I get myself into?"

Journey Framing:

Matt said this during “How on Earth? LIVE! - The SFCW Episode.”

He was wearing a plant skirt, bra, and headdress. Playing into the moment.

What does this have to do with you?

Start with "Notice"...

NOTICE

Maybe you laugh first. Then maybe you recognize it. The moment when you realized exactly what you'd agreed to.

Or maybe you're still in the before. The moment right before you say yes to something that might change how you talk about climate.

Whatever's showing up, just notice it's there.

CONNECT

Here's what makes that "yes" so hard: you can never fully see what you're agreeing to before you agree to it.

Most people wait until they feel ready. Until they know enough. Until they're sure they won't look ridiculous. News flash: The plant outfit may not be visible when you start.

But here's what Metaphor knows: That's the whole process. Saying yes one step at a time. The refinement comes later. For now, keep going.

TRY

This week, try this:

See what Matt got himself into.

REST

You don't have to wear the plant headdress.

But you might want to.

& REPEAT

Watch for this pattern elsewhere.

Notice when "what did I get myself into" shows up when you take a climate action.

Each time you catch it, keep going. Eyes open or closed. Either works.
