Embrace Uncertainty with Curiosity and Excitement
People who accomplish great things don’t do so in the absence of doubt or uncertainty, they do so in spite of it.
In this era of accelerated change where what’s ahead may not be clear, it’s easy to let discomfort with uncertainty paralyze you and keep you from achieving all you can achieve.
Today’s affirmation is especially for you if you have struggled in this area. This is a powerful affirmation designed to help you embrace the unknown with curiosity and excitement:
I am comfortable with uncertainty.
Uncertainty is a fact of life. Many circumstances are beyond my control, but I am happy living with doubts.
I recognize that there are advantages to going through turbulent times. Old habits fade away. New opportunities emerge. I encounter challenges that teach me valuable skills and sharpen my abilities.
My curiosity is aroused when I am in a situation where the outcome is yet to be decided. My thinking is flexible. I feel confident. I know I can adapt.
When I look at the aspects of my life where I already accept uncertainty, they show me how I can extend this approach.
In the workplace, I focus on my performance instead of office gossip and news reports about possible company changes.
In relationships, I work at being kind to others instead of creating rigid expectations about their behavior.
When it comes to my health, I pay attention to the lifestyle decisions I can control. I get plenty of rest, good nutrition, and daily exercise. I manage stress and see my doctor regularly.
My financial planning is similar. I stick to my budget and build my savings. I am satisfied knowing that I make my best efforts.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. How does accepting uncertainty enhance my life?
2. What would l miss out on if I was able to predict everything?
3. What are some areas of my life where I could practice accepting uncertainty?
Today, I embrace the uncertainties in my life. I remain calm and enjoy the challenges that invite me to grow.
