So that’s when I said to myself, “If something makes me anxious, I am going to do it anyway.” That has been my mantra ever since. My new mantra helped me move through the fear and book the trip. I reframed that experience by saying, “If I miss my connection, I can spend a night in Ireland, which wouldn’t be such a bad thing.”This new mantra has helped me both personally and professionally. Doing this work made me feel anxious, nervous, excited, and scared all rolled up into one. I encourage you to find a statement, quote, or mantra that you truly feel holds your feet to the fire when there is an opportunity to embrace uncertainty rather than run away from it.
