Evolutionary speaking our brains are still designed for this ancient world this cave man like world and so inevitably we get triggered by fear in anything and everything because our brain is not designed for this

modern complex world so any little thing that happens you know a

computer can appear to be as threatening as a saber to a tiger

which is where our brain is still looking at okay how can we survive

and that's why we do things like what's called a negativity bias,

for example, when we focus more on what we don't have

than what we do have, you know,

and studies have shown people will do,

well people will experience more pain at the loss of $50 than joy at the prospect of gaining $50.

Because evolutionary speaking, we want to be more focused on the potential threat, the Sabre

Two Tiger or this thing around is killing us, because if we a beautiful sunset no big deal there'll be another one the next day right but if we don't miss this if we miss this threat we could die and there'll be no more sunsets at all so

so coming from that perspective that fear is this very primal emotion that we're always

having to deal with and we have to realize that we don't control what first shows up in the

brain.

So neurologically speaking, you know, as I mentioned there's this emotional brain and there's the

rational brain we don't control what first shows up in the emotional parts of a

brain so if I'm standing on the edge of a cliff and I feel fear that's just my

brain responding to this edge of the cliff, right?

And the value in learning this is that we stop,

that this allows us to stop judging our emotions.
