Hi all,
Recently I've been thinking about genetics and how my brain is wired. (In my family going back 2-3 generations, there is a clear anxious/OCD streak and also an ASD streak (autism spectrum disorder) - not saying necessarily the two things are linked, just saying that you can recognise the ones in my family who are anxious as clearly as you can recognise the ones who have ASD eg Aspergers. Similarly you can recognise the ones who didn't get either streak and are just chilled out, normal people )
Whether it's nature or nurture, I definitely also have that anxiety about property investing which means I'm incredibly risk averse. It has definitely held me back in the past in not taking opportunities at the right time.
Anyway I recently sold in Sydney and intend to diversify into a couple of other capital cities in the next 18 months.
I've heard lots about how you can change your mindset - but I just wondered if anyone has been able to change their programming, in a way, because while I have the right mindset I seem to be constantly fighting the way my brain seems to think!
