It’s important to understand your brain’s response to uncertainty, because it can dramatically affect how you feel. When starting a new relationship or changing jobs, your brain may automatically interpret the new situation as something bad. But it’s not bad; it’s just unknown. And for almost anything worth having (true love, a great job) you have to pass through some period of uncertainty. We have to constantly remind ourselves that our brains may be skewing the unknown toward the negative, so we don’t miss out on the potentially awesome rewards on the other side.
