And what I will say from a neuroscience point of view is that fear and uncertainty are actually the worst state for your brain to be in. If you take a step forward, what you find out quite quickly is that even if something doesn't work out, that feeling is less bad for your brain than the fear of uncertainty.

I think it's Winston Churchill, yeah.

I think it's Winston Churchill, yeah.

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.
