THE FEAR OF DOING SOMETHING NEW IS REAL!
Doing something new always scares me and put me in an anxious state. It is a feeling,i don't understand.
According to the internet, doing something new or going to a new place is supposed to be very exciting, we are supposed to love traveling, meet new people, take a new job and not feel scared but free. Except, i don't feel that way. I feel fear. Real fear that sometimes paralyzes me.
Interesting thing about it all, is the fact that, we don't have a choice, if we truly want to succeed. We have to get out of our comfort zone and face the "new" like a boss.
We must do something new to reach our goals in life, Despite how scary it may be.
To truly succeed, one has to be able to remain calm and collective in all situations. For example, meeting a new investor, a client or having a job interview.
In situations like these, we can't just look down and act depress in front of our new business partners or clients. You have to sit up straight and stay alert. Look them in the eyes and maintain your composure. You have to act smartly and carry on a conversation without fidgeting or have a frightened look on your face.
That's why, right now, I'm in the process of overcoming this fear of the "new" that has overwhelmed me for so long.
I have learnt that to overcome it, one has to fake it, until they make it.
The fear of doing something new is real but it should motivate us to do the thing that scares us, no matter what.
