Hello friends,

This month I’m writing about uncertainty. 

Make a cup of coffee, grab your pen and journal, get cosy and let’s start. 

*********************************************************

When I work with my clients on approaching changes and transitions in their lives, the theme of uncertainty comes up a lot. Like- A LOT. 

It is so human. We want to KNOW. We want to be in control. We are wired to avoid uncertainty. It comes from fear and trying to protect ourselves. 

But the truth is… 

Certainty is illusionary. 

Life is always in transition. 

We face uncertainty every day. Every change comes with the unknown.

So how about we shift our perspective?

To practice my uncertainty muscle, every now and then I embark on a journey without a plan. I only know the first stop. The rest is unknown. And every time I’m surprised by where it took me. To places and experiences, I could’ve never thought of or planned before. And I tell you, it is scary. It’s uncomfortable and challenging.

But also…

Uncertainty is full of possibilities. 

The space of the unknown holds so much potential.

And there is no transformation without some uncertainty.

So today I want to invite you to reframe uncertainty. 

Learning to relax in the midst of the unknown. 

Be comfortable in the space of not knowing. 

Or… be uncomfortable.

Just be there. With full acceptance and curiosity.

Ask yourself: What could I learn from this? How is it making me more resilient and wise?

Take a moment to reflect.

Here are some questions you can use as journal prompts: 

• What comes up when you think of uncertainty?

• What is the story you are telling yourself?

• What is the cost of avoiding uncertainty? 

• What would it look like to heal your fear of the unknown, even just a little bit?

• What would be different in the way you approach the desired change if you weren’t avoiding the uncertainty? 

• How can you allow yourself to befriend the unknown and open yourself up to new possibilities?

• How could you nourish yourself while being in the space of the unknown?

As a coach, I invite my clients to step out of their comfort zone and embrace the unknown. Together, we are on a journey to find clarity and direction while navigating the uncertainty.  In the Holistic Approach to Change program, we spend the entire session on the topic of dealing with uncertainty.

If it feels right, I invite you to take the next step on your journey towards embracing the possibilities in your life and join one of my 1:1 coaching programs. Send me a message and learn more about how we can work together.
