Your brain is smart, but you are smarter

Your brain is so loud! And self doubt is no joke. Man, can it talk you out of so many great opportunities. But here's the funny thing, that is it's J-O-B! Your brain is wired to protect you and the craziest part? It does not know the difference between a safe new endeavor that might be challenging OR a scary, dark empty alleyway at 1am. It only knows, hey, this is new. This is different. This is scary. We should stop. We should run away. No seriously, turn around and go back to "normal", comfortable and routine expectations. That is why every time you try to start something new, a business perhaps or a new way of eating, your brain will fight you. But instead of getting frustrated and giving in, thank your brain for protecting you all these years. Thank your brain for having an incredible intuition. And then remind your brain that you are in fact in charge here. That you are indeed safe and that yes, you are correct brain, this endeavor is new, but it is a good new. And as we meander through this challenge we will be even stronger when the next new opportunity presents itself. Your brain is smart. But you, you my friend are the smartiest. :) Deep breath, press on.
