Your Brain Creates Mountains to Keep You Safe, Here’s How to Climb Them

You have a dream to create something.

It lights you up when you think about it; it’s as though the world takes on a different color.

Everything is more vibrant, more alive; there’s an energy pulsing through your body — you feel and see possibilities and opportunities.

You want to (insert your dream here). You have the idea, the desire, and the basic outline of what you want to create.

You feel amazing and want to take the 1st step, but your mind rushes in with a flurry of thoughts before you can.

It’s SOOOOO much work.
Do you even know how to create “X”?
Is this even worth doing if it’s not a success?

Your brain immediately rushes to the finished product, skipping all the steps to actually get there.

Your dream now appears to be an insurmountable mountain. It’s too much, it’s too big, who are you to even try?

Whatever you want to create is new to you — and new equals uncertainty to the brain. And your brain doesn’t like uncertainty. Your brain’s job is to keep you safe — your joy and fulfillment are not its priority.
