I say: express your feelings to a therapist or trusted friend or mentor.
It can be scary risking doing something. As the pandemic starts to end–hopefully by early next year–this is when it can make sense to take a risk like finding a job or going to school or get trade or vocational training.
Establishing a support team can help you weather the uncertainty of whether you will succeed or not.
When you give a goal your best shot there can be no shame if what you wanted to do doesn’t work out.
It’s natural to fear failure and it’s also natural to fear success.
What might be happening is a bout of self-stigma or having the mindset that you don’t deserve to have fortune.
Either way your thoughts can influence what you feel which can hold you back.
For one goal I’ve decided to employ the “act as if” technique of acting boldly even when I might be scared.
I’ll end here by saying that the objective is to try, to risk, to fail, and to try again..
In the next blog entry I’ll take about risking in more detail.
