Worry Window: Schedule and Contain Worry

This is the life skill to end all life skills. Once you can do this, everything else becomes so much easier. This is something that top business people thrive at. This is something that people who do not get riled up by the news and all of the unprecedented times that we're living in have figured out. 

So what’s the skill? Getting comfortable with uncertainty.

The best part is it can be learned, practiced, and there’s science behind it too. Absolutely anybody can become more comfortable with uncertainty. In this episode, I'm going to teach you how. 

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• Why uncertainty tolerance is the #1 way to reduce anxiety
• How to calm your amygdala when it won’t shut off
• The “resilience list” I use to train my brain out of fear loops
• Neutral/best-case training that beats doom-spiraling
• Micro-steps and exposures that lower stress quickly

When you become comfortable with uncertainty, you're going to have much more energy because you're going to be less stressed. You're going to take more risks, which is going to result in far more success in your life—you're going to be unstoppable.

👉 Homework: Block out a 10-minute daily “worry window.” Set a timer, write your biggest worry, then list one neutral and one best-case scenario. Take one micro-action to move forward.
