Few activities create more anxiety than thinking about the future. However, when we let go of the need for certainty, we prepare our minds for clarity and creativity to bloom.
Whenever we’re faced with a hard problem or a major decision, we often find ourselves gripped with anxiety. Our minds churn with visions of the many ways things might go wrong.
However, we can take comfort in the fact that nobody knows what's going to happen. While uncertainty often makes us uncomfortable, it also equals possibility.
When we let go of our need to have everything all figured out, we can open the door to new ways of thinking and being.
The Buddhist concept of “store consciousness” offers a helpful approach to do this. When you have a problem, rather than ruminate endlessly, you can rest in the wisdom of “not-knowing” and allow insight to arise organically.
