PAGE 1: WHAT IF…

NAME YOUR FEAR/ANXIETY HERE:

COLUMN 1: DEFINE YOUR FEAR

What is causing my anxiety, whatever I am putting off?
Examples: Asking for a promotion, a raise, changing job, asking someone out, etc.

Write down/type all the worst things you can imagine happening IF you take that step.
List 10 to 20 (Yep! That’s a lot and it is worth noting that it is worth your time to list these, minimum 10…)

COLUMN 2: PREVENT

What could I do to prevent each bullet point from happening or at the very least decrease the likelihood of it happening (even a little bit)?

For each “DEFINE” bullet you listed, offer a “PREVENT” option.

COLUMN 3: REPAIR

If the worst-case scenario happens, what can I do to repair the damage, even a little bit, or whom could I ask for help, who handled this in the past?

For each “DEFINE” bullet, list a possible “REPAIR” solution if it were to happen.

One question to keep in mind when you do this exercise is:
“Has anyone else in the history of time, less intelligent or less driven than you, figured this out?”
Chances are the answer is YES!
