Email: How can we embrace uncertainty? (India)
“Always try to do, what you are afraid to do. Some of the most beautiful chapters in our lives won’t have a title until much later.”
Uncertainties or disappointments create a confusing, complex web in the mind. Makes us feel mentally chained, stagnant, stuck in the dark like a slowly sinking ship. In such moments, taking a step back, taking some time to breathe, self-compassion & honest reflections help. Even if we have to start from a scratch, learn afresh, re-build, re-create or change direction, we can courageously resolve challenges.
We are wired to want to control our environments, set our expectations high. Once we let go of control, we accept that change is the only constant in life. So necessary for our evolution. We are responsible for our own happiness & growth, to fulfil our precious dreams, goals or purpose.
Reframe perfection – Embracing our imperfections not as faults but as our uniqueness gives real strength. Make our own decisions – to really live the life we deserve or desire, we need to tell the truth about who we are, what we honestly want. We can feel proud of our ability to make decisions, keeping different perspectives in mind. This faith & belief in oneself, strengthens our self-esteem & self-confidence. Rethink risks – when we start something new, we can feel vulnerable. If we reframe it as a once in a lifetime opportunity, we can feel excited. Taking calculated risks to move out of our comfort zones is inspiring. Believe we are enough – delete all the negative scripts that we tell ourselves. Sub-consciously, we are constantly growing & elevating our energy. To fully embrace uncertainty, we can replace doubts of the unseen or the unknown with creative child-like curiosity, adventure & resilience.
