Why the mind keeps us away from unfamiliar territories

Vulnerability can lead to a sense of incapability and injury, primarily affecting our ego and how we perceive ourselves. Our ego often presents an inflated image of our abilities, leading us to believe we can do things without trying.

It involves recognizing the stories our mind creates to prevent vulnerability and challenging them with the truth to break the cycle of resistance.
