Fear of change is the brain's normal reaction to the unknown. But it's not an enemy - it's a compass.

When you're scared to change jobs, cities, relationships, it means you've stepped out of your comfort zone. And that means growth will begin.

The first step is not to run away from fear, but to consider it. Write down, "What exactly am I afraid of?" and "What could be the worst-case scenario?" - it's often not as scary as it seems.

Take small steps: don't quit right away, but start looking for alternatives. Fear will become less when you start taking action.

Remember, there is no growth without risk. Change is scary - but it's beyond change that real life begins.
