Find something that makes you happy and stick to it.
Figure out what gives you energy and double down on it.
Understand what gives you a sense of accomplishment and do that consistently.
Notice what puts a smile on your face and expand that until it fills most of your days.
The alternative is a spiral of negativity that will be every day more difficult to escape.
Do not go there.
What if a simple task, instead of fueling regret for the lack of a challenge, would push us to give our best consistently?
What if a simple goal, instead of fueling discontent for the little reward, would make us full?
Difficult, complex, busy, huge are often considered measures of success and satisfaction.
You can take a different route.
Most of what we do goes unnoticed.
Good and bad not always get rewarded or sanctioned as we are used to see in novels and movies. And we are often alone dealing with what follows.
Not only we are main characters to our own movie, we are also the sole interested audience.
Can you accept that?
Start from small.
A little thing that bothers you just a little. Something you want to change. Something you want to try. Something that’s been on your mind for a while.
Something small.
We often fail because we want to get to the end result right from the start.
We go on a diet, and we want the body we desire on week 1.
We start a blog, and we want an audience from day 1.
We land a new job, and we want to love it already on the first month.
We found a new company, and all we think about is to make it a unicorn.
Start from small instead. Break the big achievement down into small, if you need.
Small is your buddy.
Fear is irrational. Pretending to reason when fear kicks in is pointless.
What we can do is keep in mind that fear is one version of reality. Not the nicest one. Not the most realistic one. Just one of the many that are possible at any given time.
When you put fear in this context, things will slowly become to look less scary.
