You know the story about Greek generals burning their ships behind them after landing on enemy shores right? The way back is no option. Victory or death.
That's the strategy you gotta take. I've been there.
@Cognitive Corgi :
As quoted above, burn the boats.
And as @TheOrchestrator suggested, change your environment, it helps tremendously.
I'm still a beginner on this path and I certainly feel you, since I still get stuck on acting as well.
I guess it's a different reason for everyone, the fear that produces resistance to acting, to getting out
there, to fail gloriously and grow in the process.
But one thing that is universal (I think) is that our brain is a pattern processing/matching machine. And it is a damn good one. Your environment is a pattern, and your behavior/feelings/impulses/thoughts are heavily anchored to it.
If it helps you, what I did when I finished my studies and returned to my old room was immediately change the layout. And it doesn't have to be expensive. Re-arrange the furniture, hang some posters, paint the room even. Clean it up and throw away everything that you don't need. The place you spend most of your time is inherently, a reflection of your own psyche. Whether this, or any of the other valuable suggestions posted here is best for you, only you can know. Trying them is a form of acting in itself.
I'll stop ranting, this thread got me fired up
