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.
