The mind can come up with a million +1 reasons not to do something - especially when it's bold, ambitious, and something you've never done before. The trick is to not give it a chance and like you say "follow the energy and trust that my future self has got me."

I find that trust part to be the hardest at first but one that compounds like a snowball moving down a mountain until you look back and realize you're doing things you thought were unequivocally impossible in the not-so-distant past

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” – Rainer Maria Rilke
