The brain fears incertitude, lack of knowledge, and loss of control. Thus, it detests them. However, it loves the opposites in certain conditions, as I explain below. It deliberates over internal and external threats, processing suggestive information, creating meanings, and attempting to create a sense of control.

As a result of this lengthy and arduous process, the body and brain are subjected to a significant amount of stress. Unless brought under control, this could cause chronic conditions and lead to unbearable problems.

Stress is unavoidable and cannot be eliminated completely as it is essential for our survival and growth. The body and brain possess an integrated stress management process. While a little acute stress and mental reflection are great for our well-being, chronic stress and disproportionate anxiety are the root causes of many physical and mental health disorders.
