Your Nerve System and Uncertainty
"The quality of your life is related to the quality of your relationship with uncertainty."
Maybe it is your schedule, your family visiting town, travel, not knowing when you will have time to get to the never ending to-do list. What is your relationship with uncertainty? Does it bring up fear, doubt, anxiety, like it often does for me?
If so, this is a hardwired neurological response, and you ought to know that it is completely NORMAL!
It is a response that has been programmed for hundreds of years to keep you safe, which is essential for life.
When you are looking to get out of survival and move into "thrive-al," a far more enjoyable quality of life, it's important to have the tools to change your relationship with uncertainty.
If your relationship with uncertainty is putting you into stress or shutdown:
You may have an inflexible nervous system,
You may experience a lot of emotion but not a lot of higher level thinking,
You may be less able to see new possibilities,
You may be shutting down valuable connection with others.
