When your logic has already pointed the way, but your body chooses to stay in the comfort zone, this disconnection creates a toxic substance called anxiety. The cost of avoidance: Every retreat feeds the fear code to your brain. Your nervous system will gradually develop an inertia called shrinkage, ultimately allowing stress and anxiety to take root in your system. The magic of action: Even a chaotic, imperfect, and flawed charge is superior to spinning your wheels in place. Because action is the only antidote to anxiety. The power of repetition: The brain doesn’t care how you think; it only sees what you do. Your repeated actions are the life algorithm you are writing. Don’t wait until you’re ready to set off; evolve in the chaos. When you start moving, those shadows that once suffocated you will dissipate like mist in the sound of your footsteps.
