After having written my last post on replacing fear with good memories, another side-effect of fear occurred to me. When we focus on our fear and we physically spiral into extreme fight or flight, we are fighting two problems in our attempt to move forward. We feel horrible psychologically AND we feel physically horrible. I know I’ve said they feed on one another… and they do. But we need to acknowledge that it’s harder to go out in the world when on top of being scared, you have a sick stomach or worse.
When I finished my first year of training and had customer accounts that were mine, every day was an “adventure.” My territory was spread all over. Because of the traffic, getting to a customer could take 45 minutes to an hour. Prior to getting this job, the farthest I’d driven was to college, which was 45 minutes from home. I had one way to get there and reversed that to get home. (I get lost going around the block. GPS’s were invented to keep me out of places I shouldn’t be in.)
