What are you afraid of? What is it that you are putting off doing? Be honest, are you not doing it because you are scared of doing it?
If so, consider this: could you tackle fear head on?
So, stop for a moment and breathe – what is making you fearful right now and holding you back from starting something? Whatever it is, JUST START! The task is rarely as bad as you are building it up to be, and imagine how happy you’ll feel when you’ve completed the task!
“Action cures fear. Indecision, postponement, on the other hand, fertilise fear…
Jot that down in your success rule book right now. Action cures fear.” – David Schwartz

Here is the book – just published.
which includes more than 50 techniques to help people support themselves better and channel negative stress into positive energy, higher performance and productivity.
