So every morning, just sit in silence.

Just think of something that you're grateful for and just let that feeling just soak in for a few minutes.

You're setting your internal GPS for how you want to feel for the day.

So that's number two.

Number three is I started reframing fear as a compass.

And what I mean by that is fear, instead of when I felt it, I would back away, is when I would feel it, I started leaning in.

Fear isn't the enemy.

Fear is just your nervous system going, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

We're doing something unfamiliar.

We're doing something on the edge of our comfort zone.

And I logically know that in order for me to change my life, I need to get out of my comfort zone.

And so if my brain is showing me fear, then it's showing me I'm on the edge of my comfort zone.

Not that I'm going to die if I make a cold call or if I put up an Instagram post.

I'm not going to die when I feel that fear.

I'm not going to die if I do it.

And so instead of backing away when I felt fear, it was just leaning in a little bit and pushing just a little bit past my comfort zone.

It's not a stop sign.

It's just a signal.

And most of the time, it's pointing to something that's important for you to push past a little bit.

I started to notice the more I was afraid of doing something, the more that that something was tied to growth and to getting out of my comfort zone.
