Nothing kills fear faster than ACTION

Now I’ll say this as someone who spent weeks unable to get out of bed…

Self medicating with alcohol and fast food…

Barely didn’t care about myself…

Totally paralysed by fear

I

HAVE

BEEN

THERE

You know what got me out of it?

Baby steps

I just started doing things

Now – don’t judge me – the first step was showering, brushing my teeth, eating good food

Next was going outside for a walk, doing some FB posts, the odd email

And I built upon this

I was so terrified of the ‘WHAT IF ‘ monster that I didn’t do anything

Yet when I started to do things and stuff?

Those thoughts not only went away BUT – in time – my actions actually gave me the outcome I wanted

AND NOTHING BAD HAPPENED

Really, that’s something you have to get in your head

Almost all of the bad things that you think may happen…

That you’re afraid of materialising…

That swirl in your mind in the darkness before you go to bed…

Simply

Don’t

Happen

And if they do

Your cure is simple

Action

It may sound flippant of facetious or dismissive; but it isn’t – its what you NEED to hear

By all means talk it out, investigate potential solutions to insure yourself

Whatever

But doing nothing only makes it worse, and doing something (no matter how small) towards your goals or to help you out of the situation you’re in (or think you will end up in lol)
