There are many unbalanced forces that act on us such as divorce, grief, or trauma. This goes into how and when to make decisions and how and when not make decisions.

Is it really that simple that having fun is the antidote for fear? It is simple but has complex neuroscience to back it up so you can learn to discover that fear can be reframed into excitement. You can also take a break from fear and worry and go have some fun for some relief to what is troubling you. This way you can face the problem with a refreshed perspective. Fear releases stress hormones that can wreak havoc and fun releases dopamine and other feel-good chemicals your body can make all by itself with just a little help from finding enjoyment to activate the brain's pleasure center.
