While driving, have you ever noticed that inner sigh of relief that happens as soon as you see familiar landscape?
We’re just a bit anxious when traveling through places we’ve never been before. In spite of the GPS giving us turn-by-turn directions, we’re at attention—sitting straight up and gripping the wheel a little tighter than usual.
But, if you take that same trip two or three times, the uneasiness subsides.
You’re good…
Well it’s the same thing with writing. We’re apprehensive about venturing out into unfamiliar territory. We’d much rather stay in our safe, comfortable environment.
But getting lost isn’t the worst thing in the world. It can actually be a good thing. You get to see things that you wouldn’t have seen staying in your safety zone.
Try venturing out every day—get comfortable with the uncomfortableness. Just go with it.
And relax…you’re almost there.
