Your Life Movie should be More than your Tale of Survival
By Jae M. Rang, MAS
Reading time: 45 seconds
Did you ever have a great idea then almost immediately stop yourself in your tracks?
Maybe the idea was to call a prominent person to ask for their time, to solicit venture capital for a new model you created, gaining more twitter followers or to write your first book.
When the idea popped into your head you were enthused with what the result could mean to you; then, before you had a chance to take just one step, you called yourself off.
Why do we do that? It's like we stand in our own way!
It's actually not your fault. It's the amygdala at work; the brain structure that's responsible for autonomic responses associated with fear and fear conditioning.
It's like a "first responder". It looks for potential threats with a "safety first" attitude. It means well, protecting us from danger. The problem is, when we buy into its warnings. the little bugger can shut down our best ideas before we've had a chance to massage them.
