Hi I am Alfonso, I am seriously paralyzed...

Hi I am Alfonso, I am seriously paralyzed at work because of fear of making mistakes and so much I am behind in my projects.

That is the worst feeling, mistakes are so utterly horrible. Especially for anxiety sufferers because they will linger in our minds for far too long. Well, I don't know what mistakes you're afraid of making. If it's in the field you're in that's somewhat simple. Talk to people, see what mistakes they made and how they worked through them, get advice. There are so many tools you can utilize, blogs, how-to's, YouTube might have some videos of people sharing their experience. You can get so much help learning off the mistakes of others, especially those who are willing to share so that others don't have to make the same mistakes.

Also, if that doesn't help fully, remember, mistakes are necessary in success. Look at the history of so many successful people and you'll find that the majority of their work is one mistake after another, but that's what made them so successful, that's what makes those people so sure of everything. They made the decision to accept their mistakes and learn from them. They took those risks and put themselves out there.

Making mistakes does not feel good. But you are not a failure, you are not on a bad path, you are building. Mistakes are building blocks, they are just heavier than the rest, but that heavy solid foundation will shape success, once they are down the weight is lifted for the rest of your journey.

Hi Abenavides,

Please remember that you are always a phone call away from someone who can help with your problem, whatever it is. Take a moment to think who that person is and you will go a long way to solving the issue.

Hi abenavides it must be a lot of responsibility for you. I understand how much pressure you're feeling. I'm sure if this will be helpful to you if you think about it...there is no failure only feedback.

When a mistake is made these are only events that we learn from, they are not failure. I know this may sound like bull for someone who needs the help now but if you think about it it makes sense. It is impossible not to fail, we cannot go through life being perfect or good everyday, we would learn very little from that. We do learn, however, when we make mistakes, because that is only human.

So don't worry about the mistakes you haven't made yet, just concentrate on doing your job, if you do make a mistake, then look at it as something you will learn from.

Also, i'm sure you wouldn't be in the job if you couldn't do it.

No failure
