When fear is calling the shots

When we start to make decisions based on what fear is telling us, there’s good chance we’re not being rational.

 

Fear has a way of telescoping the world and all the options out there into only the thing you’re afraid of, so the decision you make is in response to just that one factor. While that may quiet the Fear Voice temporarily, it may not even be the best way to handle whatever is frightening.

 

Zoom out. Get another opinion. Don’t panic. Look at more options.

 

We’re doing another Facebook Live on Friday, March 27, at noon Eastern. Join us at the Ignite CSP Facebook page to share how you’re coping with the Fear Voice, saying Yes And, and generally managing through this week. And register here for this week’s Virtual Meetings That Work interactive workshop!
