Your nervous system treats unfamiliar situations as danger, triggering fear when you try something new. The fix: clarify what you want, then mentally rehearse already having it. Familiarity makes your brain stop resisting and start generating ideas.
Your nervous system is lying to you. That voice saying, don't do it, it's not safe, that's not intuition. It's a protection program. Your brain confuses unfamiliar with danger. So every time you step toward growth, your body sends an alarm: fear, anxiety, resistance. Most people mistake the alarm as a sign to stop, but it's the exact proof that you should keep going. Growth feels like fear because your nervous system has never been here before. Figure out what you want, exactly what you want, and start mentally rehearsing having it. Not how to get it. Start mentally rehearsing having it. What that does is make it familiar to your brain. And once something is familiar to your brain, it wants it. It desires it. It hands you fresh ideas. It notices new opportunities that have been there the whole time. But when it's unfamiliar, your brain does everything in its power to hide it from you or hand you this feeling of anxiety that paralyzes you.
