Why Worrying Over New Ventures is a Waste of Energy: The Ultimate Guide to Mastering Your Can-Do Mindset
Life swirls around us like a tempest, my friend. News of global crises, pandemics, political instability, and yes, the ups and downs of markets. It's easy to get entangled in this whirlpool of information and emotion. But let's pause. Let's shift the lens and refocus on what matters—your dreams, your new venture, your innovative service or product idea.
The Paralysis of Overthinking and Its Illusion of Control
There was a time when I, too, was a slave to worry. It felt as if an invisible chain was wrapped around my thoughts, holding them hostage. It's a draining way to exist. You wake up tired and go to bed even more so. Even in slumber, the mind doesn't rest; it churns and grinds, working through the worries you've fed it all day long. But here's the revelation—worrying about the state of the world, or even your new venture, won't change the situation one bit.
The market will fluctuate; it's as natural as the tides. You can't control it any more than you can command the moon. You might think you're being prudent, that your worrying is a form of planning. It's not. It's just wasted energy. A form of self-sabotage. Imagine if you put that energy into strategizing, planning, and, most importantly, executing your ideas. How much farther along would you be?
The Illusion of Troubled Times and How to Rise Above It
The term "troubled times" is a slippery one. When in history have we not lived in what could be termed troubled times? Societal unrest, pandemics, wars—the list goes on. Yet, in every era, there have been those who have not just survived but thrived. Why? Because they adapted. They looked within and found reservoirs of resilience and ingenuity. They accepted the external circumstances and focused on what they could control—their actions and their mindset.
So, how does this relate to your new venture, service, or product idea? Simple. Stop focusing on what you can't control and start putting energy into what you can. Market research, customer engagement, refining your idea and so on—these are all within your power.
Joyful Tips to Transform Your Mindset
Embrace Imperfection
You don't have to have everything figured out to start. Your idea doesn't need to be perfect; it just needs to be yours. You will refine it as you go along.
Action Over Analysis
Sometimes you just have to leap and build your wings on the way down. An imperfect action is better than perfect inaction.
Exercise Time: The 5-5-5 Breathing Technique
Sit in a comfortable position. Close your eyes. Breathe in through your nose for a count of 5. Hold that breath for a count of 5. Exhale through your mouth for a count of 5. Repeat this 5 times. This simple exercise shifts your focus from your wandering thoughts to your breathing, creating a moment of clarity and peace.
