Nothing kills fear faster than ACTION
Now I’ll say this as someone who spent weeks unable to get out of bed…
Self medicating with alcohol and fast food…
Barely didn’t care about myself…
Totally paralysed by fear
I
HAVE
BEEN
THERE
You know what got me out of it?
Baby steps
I just started doing things
Now – don’t judge me – the first step was showering, brushing my teeth, eating good food
Next was going outside for a walk, doing some FB posts, the odd email
And I built upon this
I was so terrified of the ‘WHAT IF ‘ monster that I didn’t do anything
Yet when I started to do things and stuff?
Those thoughts not only went away BUT – in time – my actions actually gave me the outcome I wanted
AND NOTHING BAD HAPPENED
Really, that’s something you have to get in your head
Almost all of the bad things that you think may happen…
That you’re afraid of materialising…
That swirl in your mind in the darkness before you go to bed…
Simply
Don’t
Happen
And if they do
Your cure is simple
Action
It may sound flippant of facetious or dismissive; but it isn’t – its what you NEED to hear
By all means talk it out, investigate potential solutions to insure yourself
Whatever
But doing nothing only makes it worse, and doing something (no matter how small) towards your goals or to help you out of the situation you’re in (or think you will end up in lol)
