How To Take Action
I would suggest embracing your nerves when facing big commitments. Feeling scared or anxious means you're taking things seriously, which is good. Recognize that even successful people feel this way before life-changing decisions. Use this as motivation rather than a reason to stop.
A good way to do this is to reframe your thoughts. Instead of thinking, "I'm scared, maybe I shouldn't do this," tell yourself, "I'm on the verge of something great." This positive mindset can be transformative.
Practicing mindfulness can also help. Spend a few minutes each day focusing on your breath and being present. This can reduce anxiety and make you more comfortable with uncertainty.
Another low-cost method is to write down your fears and then counter them with evidence of past successes or potential benefits. This can help shift your focus from fear to opportunity.
Creating a support system is also invaluable. Talk to individuals who have faced similar challenges. Hearing their stories will reassure you that fear is a natural part of success and can give you the courage to push forward.
Finally, take small steps towards your goal. Break down the big decision into smaller, manageable actions. This will make the journey less intimidating and help build confidence.
Remember, nerves and fear are part of the path to success. Embrace them, and you'll likely find yourself transforming for the better.
