Is this fear keeping you safe?
Or is it the kind of fear that’s preventing you from being your best?

Fear = excitement
The physiological reactions we experience when we’re afraid (racing pulse, sweaty palms, lightheadedness) are the same as those we feel when we’re excited.
Fear, therefore, can be reframed as a form of excitement.
How might you act differently if you told yourself you were excited about this new possibility rather than frightened by it?
H/t to Peter Shepherd and Jen Waldman for this idea.
