Overcoming Fear and Uncertainty (your brain hates it)
The resistance, fear, scarcity, and lack of clarity that people experience can all be traced back to the fear of the unknown and uncertainty, which are the hardest things for the brain to handle. Understanding this is crucial. Asking oneself 'What would I do if I wasn't afraid?' can help in mentally rehearsing different scenarios safely. Taking the first step is often scarier than the potential outcomes, especially in situations like starting a business, dating again, or asking for a pay raise. Visualizing success, considering potential barriers, and priming oneself for success can help in mitigating uncertainty. By imagining different scenarios and preparing for them, the brain becomes more equipped to handle whatever may come, contrary to avoiding or ignoring the uncertainties.
