'True confidence is living with uncertainty' ~ Phil Stutz
For those that know me, I am a post it person 😅
My walls are filled with profound snippets of information that have stuck with me. Things I want to remember because they hold a simple, yet important message to consider.
Uncertainty is one of the most difficult things in life we have to encounter. Not knowing what will be tomorrow or in weeks to come, or even years.
When stressors are heightened, anxiety is increased its usually to do with an intolerance to uncertainty. A need to control the outcome. To avoid the worst case scenario at all costs. This can be both internal and external, avoidance of failing, or getting to work late.
🌿 How do we free ourselves from this?
By embracing the very thing we fear = uncertainty. Accepting that uncertainty is a part of life and trusting in our ability to deal with whatever comes your way because well, you already do even when its difficult and uncomfortable.
Ways to embrace uncertainty:
Like anything we need to practice, begin small.
🌿 watch a film you would never normally choose.
🌿 take a different route to the shop that you usually do.
🌿 choose something new on the menu!
🌿 if you always say no to that coffee date - try saying. yes.
🌿 let someone else choose. If you make all of the decisions, maybe its time to test the waters and let someone else. Whether thats as simple as deciding whats for tea, or where you're going out for the day.
