When fear is felt, our body is on lockdown. Fear is by other terms far from an optimal place to operate from.
The mind tries to find solutions, and explanations to the fear. That in itself often takes up a lot of our ability to actually find solutions that will help get out of the fear state.
That’s when a second opinion is really worth something. When your mind isn’t at full capacity.
As soon as fear hits, ask for help. That’ll give a lot more space for your own thoughts to come through.
