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.

For most people, I say, well, here's something most people don't know. There's something called the physiological breath. And if you just did this, where you're lifting up your diaphragm, putting oxygen into your lungs, into your brain, you actually turn off this circuit, and then what goes online? Einstein comes back online, and that's known as the parasympathetic nervous system.

And that's the genius part of our brain that is calm, that can now respond. Einstein is the part of the brain we want to operate from because that's our CEO. That's our imagination, deductive reasoning, our intelligent part of our brain. But Frankie wants to run the show to protect you all the time. And so Frankie is the quitter.

What happens when we go into this part of our brain called the sympathetic nervous system, where we can be calm to respond, now we're not feeling that angst of the stress or worry or fear or doubt or pain. But now we can say, okay. I'm feeling uncomfortable. I'm feeling like afraid. I'm feeling uncertain. I feel like I might lose X, Y, or Z or experience this and I don't like that.

Now, can we ask ourselves, Well, what would have to happen in order for me to take action and feel safe? What would have to happen in order for me to learn the next two or three steps only? Like just two or three steps so that I'm not stuck, frozen in fear, you know, reinforcing this thing that's preventing me from achieving my goal. What would have to happen?

Well, could I find one action step that at least moves me a little bit towards what I want? One small, tiny action, not a big, huge action step. It's too big for the human brain to take big action steps unless you're trained to. So what we want to do is we want to start creating these micro decisions to move in the direction of our dreams.

So the first inner size we can do is the physiological breath, or we do something called take six, calm the circuits. That's inner size number one. First, we calm that sympathetic circuit, right? Take six slow, deep breaths in through our nose, out through our mouth. Then we do inner size number two. It's called AYA, A-I-A. And AYA just stands for awareness.

Awareness of my thoughts, feelings, sensations, emotions, behaviors that I'm taking or not taking. And when we learn how to observe our physiology and our mental state without, and this is really important, without judging yourself, blaming yourself, feeling guilty or being ashamed. It's just pure observation. Wow. I'm talking negatively to myself. I'm feeling uncomfortable, right?
