Embracing Enough

36. The real reason you hate uncertainty


Listen Later

I'm not a fan of uncertainty, but I've had to get real comfortable with the discomfort of not always knowing what is to come. In this episode, I unpack the real reasons why you hate uncertainty - one of the reasons being is because your brain hates uncertainty. Uncertainty equals danger; and when your brain doesn't know what’s around the corner, it can’t keep you out of harm’s way. It always assumes the worst, over-personalizes threats, and jumps to conclusions. (Your brain will do almost anything for the sake of certainty). And you’re hardwired to overestimate threats and underestimate your ability to handle them—all in the name of survival.

Despite your best efforts, things won’t always go as planned. Expectations will go awry, unexpected events will blindside you, and you will experience disappointment and rejection. If uncertainty is unacceptable to you, you only amplify your fear and end up at war with yourself, resisting and arguing with life rather than living it.

Let this episode serve as a reminder to you that you are enough to accept the unknown—no matter what—and use the unpredictable outcomes to thrive fully into the person you were meant to be.
