(It is so easy to forget this, but even your worst fears are most likely just emotions, and emotions, as we know, pass almost every time within 90 seconds)

If you are having "second thoughts," (the thoughts that immediately follow almost each and every impulse to act on your dreams) try this:

Breathe deeply, in and out, three times.

Now that your fear center is calmed down, take a few minutes to quietly observe your second thoughts and let them pass.

Once you are calm, either write down the action you're going to take, or take a simple action toward your dreams.

(By the way, second, third and fourth thoughts are totally normal brain function; The doubts and fears that generate second thoughts are usually scrawny little nuisances that can be easily bossed around by your superior executive functions, which can be re-awakened by three deep breaths.)

I love humans today even more than yesterday (I did not think that was possible!)

Thank you for reading and for being you.
