Hey there, Hannah here :)

As we kick off a new week, I want to invite you to a fun little anxiety-busting exercise I often do.

One thing I see all the time, whether someone is starting their VA business, raising their prices, changing careers, launching an offer, moving abroad, or making a big life decision, is that they often get stuck in the same loop:

“What if it all goes wrong?”

And then letting that consume them to the point that they become paralyzed.

Truthfully, I think we spend way too much time trying to avoid the worst-case scenario and not enough time actually exploring it. So here’s my unpopular opinion: Dive in 🤿

Let yourself intentionally swim in possibility. 🪄

"What’s the worst thing that could happen?"

No really. Spend a few minutes there: what really is your worst-case scenario?

Then ask yourself:

➡️ What would I do if that happened?

➡️ What resources could I tap into?

➡️ Who could help me?

➡️ How realistic is this scenario, actually?

Most of the time, you’ll discover that the thing you’ve been carrying around in your head is much scarier in theory than it is in reality. And you’ll also discover something else: You’re far more resourceful than you’ve been giving yourself credit for.

In other words, your anxious brain is often a terrible fortune teller. 😉

The goal isn’t to convince yourself that bad things never happen. The goal is to remember that if they did, you’d probably find a way through.

Because you always have. And sometimes that’s the reality check we need to stop catastrophizing and start moving. I usually find that after this exercise, I like to look at people and examples of where I want to be, and start creating an evidence bank of the opposite of my fears. Movement in the right direction is what comes as a result!

That's all from me for today - I hope this sparked something in you, and if you want to join in the conversation...

​Come hang out on IG here.​

Have a great week!

Hannah
