Whenever I have a new idea or want to try something new, I will get a little clue. A clue that will tell me not to do it. That hit of anxiety tells me that I shouldn’t take the risk because of all the “what ifs.” My fight-or-flight brain doesn’t realize the difference between calculated…

A couple weeks ago, I posted “Do you believe everything you think?” People probably saw that ominous quote and were like… wtf? This blog post is about perception.
