Let's be honest, we are going through some crazy times right now! So, how do you handle when you don't know what is going to happen next? Do you get stressed, feel anxiety or just shove your head in the sand?
Today’s episode is focused on how to navigate the world of uncertainty.
Join us as we discuss how to live a life without a crystal ball.
Today we discuss the uncertainty and lack of control we face in everyday life, and how to cope with it.
We share personal stories of going through uncertain and uncomfortable situations, and how we eventually made sense of them.
Strategies discussed include: avoiding catastrophizing, looking for the positive perspective, and trusting that things happen for a reason.
Topics:
Uncertainty in life:
We have an illusion of control, but life is inherently uncertain.
Uncertainty can be exhausting, especially around major life changes.
Uncertainty about finances and job changes can be particularly stressful.
Navigating uncertainty:
Having faith that things will work out, even if you don't understand it in the moment.
Avoiding jumping to conclusions and catastrophizing.
Trying to find the silver lining or see how the uncertainty is happening "for you" rather than "to you".
Relying on support systems and sounding boards.
