Episode Shownotes:

• As business owners, we experience fear constantly, leading to significant stress and worry in our lives.

• Our concerns encompass a range of factors, including whether various initiatives will succeed and the outcomes of different situations. I believe that this approach might be rather short-sighted.

• The truth is that the element of unpredictability will always remain a constant.

• Consequently, it's essential to learn to accept this reality and continually ground ourselves to the present.

• Reflecting on the broader perspective, I recently encountered a situation where fear and stress completely dominated my thoughts. Unfortunately, this caused me to lose sight of the actual circumstances.

• The culmination was a complete emotional outburst, directed at my best friend, primarily due to my suppressed emotions and lack of open communication about my struggles.

• To counteract this fear-induced mindset and reconnect with reality, consider the following strategies:

• Firstly, take a step back and examine the bigger picture. This can be achieved through journaling, discussing concerns with a friend, or gaining perspective beyond the daily routine.

• Secondly, ground yourself in factual information. Analyze data, such as Google Analytics, to align with the actual reality.

• Lastly, practice self-forgiveness, even in the face of mistakes and missteps.
