1:11Now PlayingUncertainty is a b*tch. Here’s how to stop fearing the unknown and do something with your life.
1️⃣ Get good at feeling bad. Uncertainty is an uncomfortable feeling. And the only way to make yourself more resilient towards discomfort is by sitting with discomfort. Let the uncertainty be there, it won’t hurt you.
2️⃣ Build habits and routines into your life because dealing with the uncertainty of the unknown is a lot easier when you exert agency over the parts of your life that you can control.
3️⃣ Get creative. This might seem strange but being more tolerant of uncertainty is actually linked with being more creative. It’s not clear if tolerating uncertainty makes you more creative or if being creative makes you tolerate more uncertainty, but I would guess it’s almost certainly a two-way street. Go on, take that origami class you’ve always been too scared to.
So, are you now willing to choose action in the face of uncertainty? Well, if not, that’s a problem.
