That happens because your brain doesn’t like change so it creates doubt to try to protect you. Even when doubt makes sense, every situation has pros and cons. You get to take charge back by choosing to move forward based on what you do know, and not get so caught up worrying about the doubt.You’ll Hear About:-“Discomfort is the currency of your dreams.” - Brooke Castillo.
