It’s a good quote, especially for anxious people like myself. I tend to avoid the things I am afraid of rather than be curious about the things I fear.
I am one those people who avoids things that make me anxious too and everything makes me anxious so that’s not good at all. I used to avoid almost everything but over the last few years I went out of my way to step out of my comfort zone and it’s been an interesting experience.
I am a very anxious person but I have been trying to step out of my comfort zone more. It’s really helped me have some wonderful experiences I may have otherwise missed.
So true! How often do we discover that something we feared was actually the showdowns of the thoughts we had created about it and not what was actually going on? When we don’t know the facts about something our brains fill in the gaps. If we’re fearful, we create all sorts of negative narratives, only to find out that the truth is often rather mundane!
I definitely prefer to get to know the reality now than to live in fear of the shadows my mind can create!
Yesss absolutely! Our brain is so powerful but sometimes it works against us if we let it. Especially when we don’t know certain things we end up becoming anxious about them and that’s why so many people hate change. However, it’s so much more beneficial to try rather than never do anything new and stay in your little box.
Right! 💯 how often when we fear trying something new it’s actually because we lack the self confidence in ourselves to have the ability to learn it or to do it well?!

Yeah but I still try not to fear things I don’t understand. I’ve lived in fear with anxiety about absolutely everything for way too long.
