Summary
Today, we confront the core emotional driver behind uncertainty—fear—by intentionally shifting our internal dialogue. Get ready to release the tension of the unknown as we anchor into the powerful truth: "I am safe and secure in the present moment, and I have the power to handle what comes next."
This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, "The Uncertainty Detox: Rewiring Your Brain for Fearless Living," episodes 1213-1219.
YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: The 3-Second Pause Challenge
Before making any non-urgent decision this week (e.g., ordering lunch, responding to an email, selecting a task), pause for exactly three seconds. Place your hand gently on your solar plexus or abdomen and ask: "Does this feel expansive or contractive?" This simple ritual trains you to access your gut's instant feedback loop before the logical mind jumps in..

| 0:00.0 | This is episode 1214. Welcome back. How are you doing? I hope you enjoyed the awareness meditation |
| 0:13.4 | in yesterday's very first episode. And as you were seated and you were meditating and you were considering areas of your |
| 0:26.8 | life where you experience uncertainty, I hope this awareness makes you more aware of the stress triggers that contribute to this uncertainty. |
| 0:43.2 | I know that for myself these days, I am triggered by news. My uncertainty stems from constantly checking what's going on in the world. |
| 1:01.6 | And I want to share this with you because I think it's valuable to take a good look at when your uncertainty started. |
| 1:16.4 | Because with this habit of uncertainty, |
| 1:21.5 | which uncertainty is a habit, |
| 1:25.3 | and it is influenced by your thoughts and your thoughts begin with small actions you take |
| 1:36.3 | that impact you emotionally and that makes you feel a certain way. |
| 1:49.1 | And then that feeling just grows stronger and stronger and stronger. |
| 1:57.1 | And so when you consider uncertainty, think of when it first began. |
| 2:08.3 | So as I mentioned, my constantly checking the news has become an addiction. I know it's directly related to uncertainty I feel in my own life. And when I think about when it started, |
| 2:15.7 | I realize it was when my oldest son went to college. |
| 2:21.7 | And because he's going to college in a state that's clear across the country from where I live |
| 2:28.9 | here in Florida, I started to feel as though I needed to pay more attention to what was going on in the news. |
| 2:37.7 | Because previously, I didn't. |
| 2:41.2 | I took a news fast intentionally. |
| 2:46.3 | Because a lot of the news is very sensationalized. |
| 2:51.8 | So I found that to be very distracting and alarming |
| 2:56.2 | reading about these sensationalized events. |
| 3:02.7 | Of course, I pay attention to major events happening in the world. |
