Welcome to You World Within Daily. I'm Eddie Panero. In this episode, we're going to talk about

overcoming fear and how by simply repositioning how we're looking at a stimulus, we can make the

situation work for us. So imagine standing around a pool and ice cold water, right?

And you're looking at it and you know that when you jump in, it's going to be uncomfortable.

You don't want to jump in, right?

You don't want the pins and needles. You don't want to jump in, right? You don't want the pins and needles.

You don't want that feeling of discomfort.

And so you procrastinate, you procrastinate, you procrastinate.

Ultimately, you summons the courage, you jump in, and it is cold, and it is uncomfortable.

When you get pins and needles and it's, you know, it's a rough 90 seconds.

But then your body acclimates.

And pretty soon you're moving throughout the water with any, without any discomfort at all, right?

Because increased exposure to that stimulus has changed your reality. It's changed the way you think about it,

and it's changed the actual situation. And that's essentially applicable to everything we fear.

As I mentioned last week, the scariest thing is not the actual outcome, right?

It's how our brain perceives it.

And so almost like training a dog, right?

Growth is tricking your mind into accepting a stimulus.

And so there are a lot of ways to do this.

I've been referencing Tim Ferriss a few times.

You know, another cool trick from that four-hour workweek that I loved was, you know, lying down on a crowded sidewalk.

Same exact concept as the pool.
