I love that you decided to include the seismic-wave chart because that accurately depicts the reality of trying something new - it's both scary and exciting. Sometimes I end up using coping mechanisms to deal with the anxiety of big goals...but it's a work in progress and I remind myself that big goals are achieved through incremental steps. Overnight success is a myth.

I’m with ya. I think we all have some sort of coping mechanism when we’re doing things that scare us — even if (especially if) that scary thing is a goal/dream we have. Baby steps all the way!
