So how do we get over this fear and start making changes and start the hard work that will lead to opportunity? Your brain likes information it knows and understands and doesn't like what it doesn't know. If your brain experiences enough change in a variety of ways, it'll allow you to operate with the understanding that change is something you can survive and even benefit from. You won't fear it so much because the information stored in your head provides evidence that fear is unnecessary. Of course, getting to this point is easier said than done.

One simple and easy way to cope with change is to allow yourself to freak out. Freak out on your own time then once you have done that, consider the upside to the change you are wanting to make and keep reiterating that everything is going to be ok. Even more, think about the kind of person you will be when you make this change, think about how you will feel, how you will walk differently, talk differently. These future feelings can really kick start a wanted change. The more you can visualize your future self and make it as real and detailed as possible only further pushes yourself to make the change. YOU CAN DO THIS!
