Some of us ignore our fears and push them aside so that all is left is a bit of a murky feeling when we think about starting something new. However, this feeling of ‘ick’ is sometimes enough to keep us from doing something that we should or would like to do, but we just don’t consciously address it. A great process to address this is to write out a list of all your fears surrounding your goal. Once you articulate them, you will realise that some of them are absolutely irrational and easily overcome. Others will have something to teach you about what you can do to avoid the negative experience that you fear. In both cases, listening to your fears equips you with the ability to move forward and act. Don’t let that lurking apprehension take over your resolve and purpose.
