It happens to the best. From successful sportsmen to the average Joe.
We literally imagine things and punish ourselves. Somehow we are very creative in this pursuit.
Our rational mind may be telling us to stop imagining and start acting and yet we procrastinate and undermine ourselves. And that leads to self-paralysis (and in many cases partial self-destruction). We lose valuable time and self-esteem.
And this weighs us down.
It challenges our ability to see clearly our path forward and we may ask - "How can I know the right course of action, let alone peace of mind".
There is a simple way out
1. Take deep breaths. Do this often when you feel nervous.
2. Set small goals.
3. Force yourself to take action. This is the most important part.
4. Reward yourself.
Please remember that there is no rescue boat. Nobody can / will come to save you. We have to fight and win this mental battle.
