How can you change yourself from being risk averse?

It's easy to say ';just do it';, but in practice, it's so much hard especially when being risk averse is just the way you are.



I don't take many risks in life. I daydream of what things might become if I chose it that way or events happened a certain way. Reality is much harsher though and things don't always go to plan. Whilst things can't get any worse, they could be so much better if I took some risks - not being scared of being wrong, the consequences etc. Things could also be much worse when taking the risks.



It's like if you had a million pounds/dollars or whatever and had the chance to double it, but at the same time, the chances you could lose it all are the same, which one would you take? Or would you be happy to do nothing. Obviously making decisions are much complicated and have many factors which influence ourselves.How can you change yourself from being risk averse?
