Being scared when facing something new, is
totally understandable. Here you’ll find 5 tips
that’ll help you dealing with the feelings that
might arise when you’re facing trying something
new in your life.
1. Don’t care about
what others will say.
Your own opinion is what really counts. I
understand we all take other people’s opinions
seriously. But when trying something new, you
have to trust your gut. It’s you who know what’s
best for you. There’s a clever remark by Henry
Ford. He said: “If I’d ask people what did they
want, they’ve replied faster horses.”
2. Stop considering
other alternatives.
You now have one goal in mind. And you picked
that one for a reason. The moment you picked
that one, all the others are gone for good.
Don’t bring them back, ever. Do like Hernan
Cortes, and burn the ships!
3. Don’t doubt
yourself.
You know you can do it. You already have
eveyrthing necessary to achieve it. You’re gonna
make it. Remember: The person you see in the
mirror everyday could be your worst enemy. Or
your best ally. It’s you who make the call.
4. Don’t look back.
Just keep hustling. Looking back will only bring
you doubts, and maybe regrets. Nothing has to
distract you from your goal. The key to success
is focus. The only way you look is forward. That’s
where you want to go.
5. Don’t overthink it.
Just do it. Overthinking kills more dreams than
failure ever will! I like to say: “A mile of worries
won’t get you as far as one inch of action.” And
you can’t overthink anything when you’re really
busy doing.
Bonus #1. If you don’t
try, you’ll never know.
Did you know that people regret not doing the
thing they wanted to do, than doing it wrong, or
even failing at achieving it? Pretty
powerful realization.
Bonus #2. Accept the
worst case scenario
fully.
Take the power out of it by accepting it. Expect
good things to come. Focus on what it will feel
like once you’ve accomplished what you want.
Then, work backwards. What are the steps you
need to take in order to achieve this
experience? Break them down into micro-steps.
Do one each day. Even if the starting steps
involve breaking down the bigger steps, you will
feel better about moving forward actively.
Lastly, tell supportive people your plans. The
more other people know about your plans, the
more realistic they become!
