<p>When things are uncertain our natural inclination is to push toward the desired outcome. The problem is that when we&#8217;re afraid of the other possible outcomes we feel <strong>stress</strong><em>, anxiety and fear</em> to such an extent that effective action becomes virtually impossible. </p>
<p>By accepting the worst, energy is freed up to deal effectively with the situation at hand.</p>
<p>You really need to experience this to get it, so I invite you to take 15 minutes (actually just a bit over 13 minutes) to listen to this audio. Find a comfortable place to sit and follow along with the exercise.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><!-- AudioAcrobat.com Player code BEGIN --></p>
<div class="aaplayer"><iframe src="http://www.audioacrobat.com/playweb?audioid=P7058b4fac2e62705c4e729fbfd155cbbZ1B4QVREYWF1&amp;buffer=5&amp;fc=FFFFFF&amp;pc=4F999C&amp;kc=4F999C&amp;bc=FFFFFF&amp;brand=1&amp;player=ap21" height="25" width="246" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div>
<p><!-- AudioAcrobat.com Player code END --></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Reminder &#8211; Jumping into the biggest, scariest scenario is usually too much so approach this exercise gently and begin with something other than the big 3 <strong>stresses</strong>&#8230;relationships, health and finances. As you become more comfortable with the concept and have some direct experience, you can move on to larger issues.</p>
