The Inertia Of Fear

“Inertia is fear dressed up in another suit of clothes.” So said The Grasshopper one early morning.

Fear’s “couch potato disguise” can't escape the observant eye of anyone willing to pay attention. 

Fear is the root of immobility.

The workaround is to not take on a big scary project to prove you’re not afraid. That tactic has a high rate of failure. The way to bypass fear is to take one step – in any direction. Movement is the antidote to fear. Taken in small doses, you can prove to yourself that you’re capable of diminishing fear.

Long ago, The Grasshopper offered this: “Doing diffuses fear.” I have yet to see it not work.

Small steps in any direction relegates fear to second banana status. Your main focus is now on movement. It’s my experience that fear and movement cannot occupy the same space. So make movement a priority and you won’t be a sack of fear running in place.

One more Grasshopper quote to close this out: “You came from nothing, you’re returning to nothing; so while you’re here, do something.” – Move!

All the best,

John
