Conflightened. That dumb-then-wow moment we all need to feel from time to time.
Our assumptions and habits are powerful allies — sometimes. They often help us figure out the fastest way to get something done without treating everything as a new problem.
Our assumptions and habits can also be our worst enemy. They can lock us into ways of thinking and doing that should have expired years ago. That's why being conflightened can be a very very good thing.
Those Aha moments are the very things we need to shake us out of our old ways and into new ways.
What to Do: Embrace being conflightened. It may not feel like it at first, but being in that state will create an amazing future for you!
