Focus your mind on what you stand to gain and let your excitement motivate you. But also recognise that moving on means letting go of your old identity.
Life is full of choices such as whether to move from a boring but safe job to a more rewarding but riskier one. Or to start a new business. Or to end a bad relationship and try to find a better one. But however attractive any new direction might seem, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by doubts. And to find yourself unwilling to let go of what you have.
That happens because our brains are programmed to pay more attention to what might go wrong than to what might go right. So suddenly you fear losing what you have, become more pessimistic and afraid, and feel unable to move forward. But being indecisive could mean you miss the opportunity of a lifetime.
