So the first thing is whatever goal you have, don't confuse the fact that you may not have the knowledge and skill how to do it with it's not doable. Right. Two completely different stories. It's all figureoutable. Right. So there's only four things that hold us back. So number one is I lack the knowledge and skill of how to do something. Right.

And when us humans lack the knowledge and skill, we have self-doubt. And we have self-doubt that causes this state of uncertainty. And the average person has never been taught that when we feel uncertain, our brain actually releases stress neurochemicals. Portosol, you know, epinephrine.

And those stress neurochemicals actually activate something called the sympathetic nervous system in our brain.

And when that circuit is turned on, like the light switch I was telling you earlier, when that circuit is turned on, it's that Frankie's monster, okay, that's saying, hey, protect yourself and either, you know, run away, self-sabotage, procrastinate, you know, fight this thing, you know, or do something else.

So we know that the, like the mechanics of our brain is when I'm uncertain to have a bit of fear, right? And I have a fear of failing. I have a fear of being embarrassed, abandoned, ashamed, ridiculed, judged, rejected, et cetera, losing. And so I move into protective mode, not because I want to.

It's just a biological system that was created by our creator, whatever you believe the creative intelligence is, as a protective mechanism. But can you learn how to feel uncomfortable, feel uncertain, have self-doubt, feel fear? Can you learn how to feel fear? And can you, for example, with four breaths, deactivate that circuit? And the answer is, I don't know.
