Fear of the new or unknown

A steemit mate @galenkp put up a piece earlier about fear of the new and the paralyzing effect it has on some people and I see this so often. I feel empathy for people that get completely crippled by this emotion and can say that I once felt these emotions to.

What changed, well I did. I had to re-calibrate myself and teach myself that quitting is not an option as the job then just does not get done and I had to remind myself that I cannot keep leaving a trail of unfinished jobs or tasks, my life would fall into disarray and there would be nothing and no one else to blame but me and guilt is also not something I want to feel.

Guilt is self created for the larger part so it really is preventable. Take responsibility and take charge. The brain is the most powerful tool you have, use it. Every time you come to junction and fel scared or lost, take a few steps back (some time out) and rethink your situation, analyse it and remap a new course of action. Fact is that you need to only start this process and will soon realise that it gets easier every time to the point of becoming second nature.

You can do whatever seems impossible today
