Decisions we make when we’re stressed or fearful rarely turn out well. The altered states of mind these emotions produce impede our ability to think clearly. The acronym ‘false evidence appearing real’ describes the perception of a mere rope as a dangerous snake. Making choices based on false evidence can cause us to miss out on important growth opportunities and experiences. In most situations, if we steady ourselves long enough to face the fear head-on, we’ll see that while there is nothing to worry about, there is…
A lot to gain.
