Avoiding decisive actions and postponing decisions only amplifies fear. It's human nature to find excuses for putting off uncomfortable choices, but you can fight it:

💪 Don’t overthink.

Fear of rejection often makes you hesitate. But the longer you wait, the more your courage dwindles. If you’ve decided to talk to someone or resolve an issue, don’t delay—act now.

⚡ Focus on crossing the threshold.

For tough conversations, determine what you want to say and the result you aim for. Then forget about the whole plan temporarily and focus solely on saying the first sentence.

🌈 Think about the relief afterward.

Avoiding problems drains your energy. Remember how freeing it felt to finish exams in school? Tackling what scares you now will bring the same sense of liberation.

📅 Set a deadline.

Schedule a workout, a doctor’s visit, or a talk with someone important. A specific date creates a sense of inevitability, making it easier to follow through.

And remember, courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s acting despite it.
