PLAN, THEN EMBRACE YOUR ADVENTURE!

How did Jonathan Looks overcome this state of awfulizing? He decided to pay more attention to his dreams and less attention to his fears.

I envisioned my dreams—of traveling the world, of enhancing my photography skills, and of learning about different cultures. I gave up on my need to know with certainty that my plans were the right ones. Instead, I wholeheartedly embraced the adventure.

Personally, I have found that when fear or stress or even panic attacks me, the worse thing I can do is to shove the feelings away and hope they do not come back. It always comes back. But if I think it through, I am telling my brain: “It’s okay. There’s a plan.”

Eventually, your brain will realize there is no reason to keep bringing up these fears. There’s a plan in place!
