***Most challenges are inside your head*** (Day 18/28 of the Author Your Story challenge)

The biggest obstacle to action is the fear of failure. Most people are scared of the unknown – that they will fail if they jump, they’ll be worse off, they’ll get themselves in unpleasant situations, etc. We have a bad habit of blowing up dreams and putting them on a pedestal so that they almost seem unattainable.

TIP #18: Most of your challenges are inside your head.

Here are some things you can do to combat the fear, as well as your challenge for the day:

1. Trust yourself.

There’s something to be said about the words “fortune favors the brave.” Not knowing what’s on the other side is scary, but it often pays off.

2. Break up dreams into smaller, doable bits.

Instead of chasing a big lofty dream, try breaking it down into mini dreams that feel achievable and make a plan to complete them by a certain deadline! 

3. Hold yourself accountable. 

Make a list of your dreams and goals, and the actions you need to complete them. Visualizing will help to keep yourself in check and make sure you’re progressing.
