You know that I LOVE to start my week with some positive words of wisdom:
Have you been keeping up with my ‘fear series’ of Monday emails? If you’ve missed one, catch up my clicking here.
Fear-Inducing Habit #6: You make it harder than it needs to be to take action.
If you think that you have to take action in a big, heroic and risky way to overcome your fear then that may often lead to more fear and to not taking any action at all.
What to do instead:
A more helpful way to go about things is to not go all in at once. Instead, just dip your toes in and take a small step forward. The important thing is that you do it today (or as soon as you can.)
Take that first step slowly if you like – the most important thing is that you start moving. Start building momentum forward so that you can take more small steps forward. Doing things this way will not only build momentum but also self-confidence and will help you expand your comfort zone. All of this will make it a lot easier to take a bit bigger steps later on too if you’d like to.
Have a great week!
Carlos
