However, right to it s our optimizing your life, uncertainty can be our best friend by us and Carmen of Alison Carmen Darksome when sharing his secret happiness. The great philosopher, Jude, Duke reached a murky said: quote: Do you want to know what my secret is? I dont mind what happens end quote, I think many of us hearing this quote can understand why this state of mind leads to freedom and happiness. If we mind what will happen next in our lives? We would have no reason to be stressed and worried today, although this sounds like a ticket emotional freedom. Most of us help. I care what happens next in our lives. We care about keeping our jobs having enough money. Are children being healthy? We have other crucial aspects of our lives. We want to make sure that the things We want to happen actually do happen, and that is exactly where our need for certainty begin.

We want to know what will happen next so that we can rest in this moment knowing everything we'll be. Ok, as this pandemic is teaching us every day we can control. Everything in life is filled with twists and turns. Many of us are starting to see how our need to know is treating him you'll have it, but the truth is that our avoidance of uncertainty has always control much of our lives. In fact, our need to know is how foundation or priority for most choices that we make. Our search for certainty affects how we face life approach, work, maintain relationships and even how we parent at work. We may lean towards a particular job with a critical certain feature or pay great, or we may analyzer problem with a limited view of all possibilities, which is relationships that feel secure and These activities we know and with which we are comfortable. We make choices for our children to seem like the most prudent passed a success. Sometimes these decisions work

a great, but often we are ignoring new opportunities, stifling creativity and true desires for the sake of certainty, and, as we are being reminded right now in a very jarring way, nothing is certain and even choices that seem prudent. Other time can change. Wendy, unexpected wind blows our way. However, if we can find the courage to face the unknown we can mind or futures more gently. We can examine new ideas. Start new businesses go places. We never expected to go at some point or of a relationship with someone that is different from us mindfully. Releasing our need for certainty also creates more tolerance and patience we give up our view or our path as the only way this in turn can open us up. The blossoming of a life filled with wonder and maybe even happiness, Raising that very thing we avoid can be the Catalan. For creating the life that we really want. So how can we start to roll.

He's our need for certainty specially during he's times for me and most my clients, we practise the mindset of maybe you can use the mindset of maybe to put a stop to native projection. The pandemic, laws of opportunities or money and come back to a moment if you'll hopeful is such a simple practice with such a profound result, here's what you can do right your biggest fears down like the world is going down. The tubes to a pandemic will not end for years, and we will all be in financial ruin. Then ask yourself: are you slowly son these statements are true, there's the great thing about projections into the future. You can't know something will absolutely happen, and this is when uncertainty worst or advance this, when we realise that uncertainty is our best friend If we want our lives to change, it has to happen the unknown now, since we are not

absolutely certain that our scary and negative thoughts, our true we can ask ourselves what are the other possibilities than take five to ten minutes and maybe statements on a piece of paper. These are state. Such as. Maybe things will be? Ok, maybe things will be awful and then get better. Give your actions can make a difference, or There is still hope for something we cannot even imagine, then we can get very specific, with action steps to see my good ideas, examples of these are Maybe there will be new job opportunities and new business sectors that arise from the pandemic and adjust our thinking about new skills. Maybe I should start reconnect and with old friends and colleagues don't know, I'm looking for work, or maybe I'll figure on my situation over time

and right now. I shall focus on the day in front of me. If you do this for five to ten minutes a day, you start to feel more hopeful and present. The future contains infinite possibilities, both good and bad sure. Bad things can happen, but good things can happen to deposit part of uncertainty. Is apart. Many of us forget it's. Ok. If, after doing the exercise, you still have fears, because you will so be making some room in your mind for other outcomes. The truth is that we cannot see how entire pandemic or our lives will play out in this moment, if we saw projecting only bad things I may happen, will have more strength and vision to act, you know some bad things do happen daddy. Of maybe we'll give us trying to figure out what we need to do. Next, there is none. Pollyanna about finding comfort in the unknown. Instead,

so allows us to harness our strength and be completely honest in a moment. So stop looking for certainty and safety when there is none, take a deep breath realize life has maybe just give it a try, really works and take action when the time is right. If something doesn't go, the way you plan embrace, maybe in keep try you got what the journey ahead of you will bring in that's a good thing right now. It's all about the maybe
