The power of the word YET.
Been thinking about this recently...Many people tell us:
'I don't like flying...'
'I am not sure I will ever truly like flying...'
Growth Mindset Thinking
Professor Carol Dweck teaches us the difference between a fixed and a growth mindset. This is covered in our latest book by the way. (download for free below) The most powerful way to think about your fear of flying could be this...
- You were not born with a fear of flying, you learned it. It is never too late to learn new habits and behaviours
- Every time you say to yourself, 'I am not feeling safe when I fly' or, 'I don't like flying.' Please add YET in your head or, out loud to the end of the sentence.
This is a very powerful word. It offers hope and gives you permission to accept that you are 'work in progress.' Beating a fear is a journey, a process - it takes a different amount of time for each person. This is okay. Don't give up.
Perhaps, one day, you will love flying but, not quite, yet.
Take care,
Paul and Lovefly Team
