Too many options

IMG_8159

Often when we are fearing something, like starting a new project, changing jobs, taking a different path, we allow ourselves to over-analyse.

It is a protection mechanism to avoid ‘danger’ of doing something new or different.

We end up giving ourselves too many options, too many ‘what ifs’.

Simplify.

The few the options the less you will find excuses not to do something, often no option is the biggest catalyst for action.

After all whatever you are changing is unlikely to lead to a life or death situation.

What we fear is the best option and it is usually instinctively the one we fear the most.

Empower yourself with fear

When we are frightened by something in life it’s because it matters to us.

We will never fear something unimportant.

It’s a question of whether we let that fear inhibit us or empower us.

After all, 99.999999% of what we fear isn’t a saber-toothed tiger that’s going to eat us, that happened to our ancestors.

Now we fear loving someone, getting a new job, dealing with a toxic friend, riding a bike, writing our life story, cooking a new recipe, a presentation and so on.

Empower yourself with fear, lean into it, and let uncertainty lead you to a better life.
