It’s very uncomfortable for your brain to be in uncertainty. To not know. To be unclear on the answer. To not be sure that something is right. When you feel uncertain and are unable to make a decision, you start to feel stuck and your brain experiences tunnel vision (where it hyper focuses on the problem). In today’s podcast I am talking about what to do when you feel uncertain. There’s a magical question I ask my clients, when they’re in a state of not knowing (in other words uncertainty) that helps get them out of the problem so they can think clearly and make powerful decisions to move forward without guilt or anxiety. Tune in to learn more about how it works. Topics in this episode:The impact uncertainty has on your brain and your life The importance of feeling certain before you make a decision and how to do thatStop focusing on what you don’t know and redirect to what you doUncertainty kicks your brain into survival mode Show Notes & References: Need help making decisions you feel certain about?
