Can someone give tips about living in uncertainty?
In an ever-changing world, uncertainty is a constant companion. This reality predates our existence, a fundamental aspect of life itself. Recognizing uncertainty isn't about introducing a new concept, but rather awakening to an ever-present truth. This realization often marks a significant milestone in personal growth and maturation. Reflect on how you've navigated uncertainty in the past without undue distress. You'll likely find that your focus was primarily on the present moment, unburdened by excessive concerns about the future or ruminations on the past. This mindfulness allowed you to move forward despite the unknown. When faced with decisions clouded by uncertainty, consider the probabilities at hand. Make your choice based on the most favorable odds, while acknowledging the possibility of an unfavorable outcome. Embrace the understanding that being occasionally wrong is an inevitable part of decision-making in an unpredictable world. By accepting uncertainty as a natural element of life, rather than a personal failing, you can approach challenges with greater resilience and clarity
I'm not sure if this helps but this helped me: Just simply acknowledging it. I have long term anxiety and when I once heard the whole point of anxiety and related issues to it is all that thrives off uncertainty, so there's really no need for super hard effort of worrying about it--in other words uncertainty can just be there for no reason so you're completely fine right now like how you felt before feeling that unsettling feeling. So I stopped feeling anxious whenever feeling like that and panicking long strings of worries of why I'm feeling this way.
Something that really helped me: certainty is a feeling, not a fact. And the feeling of being certain or not being certain should not determine how we live our lives.
Get comfortable living with the uncomfortable. Easy to say, hard at times to do.
