Shull, circadian optimized decision expert. \u201cOnce you learn there\u2019s an emotional logic to everything, you can sail around your mind and your life in a much more expansive way.\u201d Unfortunately, popular thought still tells us to remove emotions from decision-making and to suppress our fears in order to move forward. On today\u2019s episode of The Quantum Biology Collective podcast, Denise explains that talking yourself out of your fear only makes it grow stronger, and acknowledging what we feel, why we feel that way and getting to the bottom of our worst-case scenarios is how we make our best decisions.\n \nSo how can we use these decision-making strategies to help us navigate this new landscape where, increasingly, we are increasingly called upon to be our own health advocates? Denise reveals the three questions she recommends people ask themselves when making health decisions. She\u2019ll share her thoughts on the state of the current medical system and how people\u2019s early experiences shape their relationship and response to authority. \n \nDenise\u2019s coaching has helped everyone from hedge funders to Olympic skiers to succeed. Join today\u2019s discussion to learn how the body reacts to unacknowledged fear and why the most emotional people make the most money in the stock market. \n \nQuotes:\n\u201cOur brains were programmed to keep us safe. And the way that is communicated to us is through a feeling. So, if we\u2019re going to take a risk, the brain is going to deliver us some level of fear\u2014maybe you would just call it concern, maybe you would call it panic, there are a bunch of levels in between\u2014but the brain is going to do that.\u201d (24:54 | Denise K. Shull) \n\u201cThere\u2019s this articulating the feeling and being able to have the feeling that, if it doesn\u2019t completely erase it\u2014and it doesn\u2019t always completely erase it\u2014it neutralize it or dissipates it to some degree that then you\u2019re able to bring into the equation the more reality of the situation.\u201d (26:34 | Denise K. Shull)\n\u201cOur unconscious is going to alert us to our biggest risk. That\u2019s it\u2019s job. To make sure we use our expertise to avoid that, but it wants us to know, \u2018Worst possible case, this thing could happen.\u2019 And then once you consciously acknowledge that, it\u2019s like, \u2018OK, got that message to Meredith\u2019s conscious mind. She can handle it now.\u2019 So, when you try to squash that, it actually gets louder, more intense, more disruptive.\u201d (41:02 | Denise K. Shull) \n\u201cAll of us have something to contribute to the world. When you honor yourself by respecting your feelings, your ability to bring whatever your gift is to the world increases.\u201d (1:03:12 | Denise K. Shull)\n \nLinks\nConnect with Denise K.
