Uncertainty is inevitable in life. Not knowing what lies ahead in our careers, relationships, or other aspects of life can be unsettling. And the biggest uncertainty of our life, death, looms over us every other moment. However, there are ways to effectively manage these uncertainties, these cannot be completely eliminated but can be controlled by practicing the ways detailed in this article.
Accept the unknown
The first step in dealing with uncertainty is to accept that you won’t be in control of everything. Life is full of surprises, and no amount of planning can ensure things will go your way. The principle of embracing the unknown frees you from the compulsion that arises with the need for control. Accepting doesn’t mean giving up; rather acceptance involves shifting your power into what you can indeed influence and letting go of the things you can’t.
Focusing on the present
Uncertainty usually comes from overthinking about the future or replaying choices of the past. Practice mindfulness to develop concentration on things demanding attention. Thinking twice about the pros and cons before actually taking the decision, and will help you overcome uncertainty. For instance, it is very common in youngsters to think big about their future but most of the youngsters are doing this by giving up the time to develop their skills which will help them to attain a bright future, and it avoiding this will help them tackle uncertainties.
Handling problem step-by-step
Uncertainty can make any problem feel overwhelming. Split your goal into small and manageable parts. For instance, if one is uncertain about a career change, he may start exploring options that fit, apply for new openings, or build a related network. Small actions will build momentum and help counteract the crippling effects of uncertainty.
Trust support system
You do not have to experience uncertainty in solitude. Surround yourself with supportive friends, family, or mentors who can provide some guidance and perspective about how you can shape your future. Sharing thoughts and feelings with someone you trust can help ease out the emotional burden. Probably, they can offer you some thought-provoking insights or solutions.
