121 - Focus on what you want not what you fear. Pursue the uncomfortable good!

Ever found yourself going down a rabbit hole of 'What ifs?'

What if I mess this up? What if it all goes to hell in a handbasket? What if I just don't have what it takes? What if ….?

You're not alone.

Your brain isn't wired to focus on the positives. It's wired to focus on the negatives - on what you don't have or don't want to happen. Yet dwelling on deficits siphons your confidence, feeds your worries, shuts down your ability to find solutions, narrows your vision, and keeps you stuck in ruts - of thought or action - that you are wholly capable of climbing out of!

So in the latest episode of my new podcast series on closing your 'courage gap,' we dive into the power of focus—and how resetting your attention on what you want, rather than what you fear, can transform your life.

As I've written in The Courage Gap, until you are clear about what you really want, your fear of what you don't want will direct your life.
