“I can’t go unless I know it will be safe.”

When your voice says:

“I can’t go unless I know I’ll feel comfortable.”

“It’s safer to stay away until I’m certain.”

Coach Lynn says:

Avoidance can bring short-term relief, but it also teaches your mind that uncertainty is dangerous. A small, safe approach step teaches something different.

Then you say:

Here’s what I need to do:

• Take one or more Composure Breaths to settle my body.
• Choose the smallest safe step toward the situation.
• Decide how long I will stay or what I will do.
• Notice what happens without demanding that it feel easy.

Coach Lynn says:

Courage is taking one small step even when you’re unsure. Each choice builds momentum, loosens fear’s grip, and gives you the power to change your life.
