Yeah, and if you've got a few examples of that in your life, then that's great. It's really helpful. And I remember when I first read Who Moved My Cheese, the question on one of the pages is, what would you do if you weren't afraid? And I find myself asking myself that question sometimes. So I don't put myself in a position of you have to do this. I just say, what would I do if I wasn't afraid?

And I write it down in my journal. And usually then you see the first step to what you can do.

Oh yeah, that's nice.

Yeah, and I think this relates also to procrastination about just deadlines and tasks. It's the same kind of field, which is, okay, you're not taking a step, an action towards your action board goals, but it's not really that different to why you procrastinate over you know, a document or an interview or something like that. And it is because you think it's going to be much harder than it is.

And so I have so many examples of where I finally get around to something at the last moment. And then I think, oh, that didn't take as long as I thought. It wasn't as hard as I thought. And I have a kind of, let's say, a cousin question to the two that we've already said, which is, what would it feel like if I get the best possible result in this scenario?

And once you kind of just imagine that and then you go into the scenario, you go in like so much more willingly without the fear.

Yeah.

because it's a natural survival mechanism in our brain to expect the worst, to protect ourselves from potential bad consequences. But particularly in the modern world, the proportion of how often we think that's gonna be a bad outcome and what actually is, is it's skewed, it's not correct. So by priming your brain more towards the,

trust and excitement and getting the bonding hormone going, you feel better. And the fact is that your fear of how bad the outcome could be wasn't correct in the first place anyway. So it aligns more with reality.

What would it feel like if I got the best possible outcome from this scenario?

What would you do if you weren't afraid?
