Mastering our bias for certainty

Our brains crave certainty. We release a dopamine reward when we are certain. What does this “cognitive bias for certainty” mean for us when we face new challenges? There is a reason uncertainty brings out fear and anxiety… we are wired for this.

Watch the video above where Carey-Lyn shares the impact of our certainty adiction.

Reflection Questions:

Think back on your day today.

  1. How much time did you spend rehashing the past?
  2. How much time did you spend worrying about the future?
  3. How might you spend more time in the moment, in the here and now?

How can you use this?

  • Reflection: Track time spent in past/future thinking.
  • Practice: Spend more time in the present moment.

KEY POINTS – Takeaways from this lesson

  • Our brain craves certainty and releases dopamine (a feel good hormone) when certainty is achieved, making it addictive.
  • Everything we do in life is based on our brains drive to minimise danger and maximise reward.
  • Uncertainty triggers fear and anxiety.
  • Our quest for certainty affects our decision making and our emotional stability.
  • We spend too much time in the past (rehashing) or future (worrying), raising anxiety.
