Anxiety specialist Caroline Cavanagh argues that if someone else has done something, you can too. She points to Galileo challenging the horizon and Roger Bannister breaking the four-minute mile: once one person proved it possible, others followed. What feels impossible is usually just a belief you can change.

If you've ever worried about something because you think you can't do it, ask yourself, has anyone ever done it? Because if it's possible for someone, it's possible for you too. And to go from possible to probable is a much smaller step to take. It wasn't that long ago, relatively, that people thought if you sailed off the edge of the world, drop off into an abyss. But Galileo thought that it was possible that that may be true, and very quickly people were circumnavigating the world. More recently, people thought it was impossible to do a mile in less than 4 minutes, but Roger Bannister broke that perception, and as soon as one person could do it, others very quickly followed. So if it's possible for someone, It's possible for you too, so just go out and find out how.
