The 4th way I have personally coped with the fear of the unknown was to write.
Write, write and write more.
Write down my goal.
Write down my plan to get achieve it.
Write down every single thing that could go wrong and write down every single way out of it.
Writing caused me to do research.
Research allowed me to understand the “unknown” better and I suddenly came to learn that the unknown was really not that unknown.
By the way, when I say write, I mean whip out a notepad and a pen and WRITE.
I would also date the pages so that I could look back and see where I was or what I was thinking at a specific point in time and then I can track my growth.
When you start seeing where you were and how far you have come, the sense of accomplishment starts exceeding the fear of what is ahead.
Sometimes, I would just scribble. Who knows. I don’t know why, but I just would.
Even THAT felt like a release of negative energy.
Way number 4 in managing fear was to write down my thoughts, goals and ways that I was going to conquer whatever was in front of me.
Follow me tomorrow for way #5!!
