uncertainty is a universal Human
0:02
Experience a state that often evokes
0:06
anxiety doubt and even fear the waiting
0:10
the not knowing can feel absolutely
0:13
unbearable research proves that
0:15
uncertainty activates the amydala the
0:18
brain's fear Center creating a
0:20
psychological response that's similar to
0:23
physical pain this response underscores
0:27
why uncertainty can feel so itting it's
0:31
not just emotional it's biological when
0:35
uncertainty becomes overwhelming tears
0:38
often follow and though tears may feel
0:41
like a sign of weakness they are in fact
0:44
an essential release in fact studies
0:47
suggest that emotional tears contain
0:49
stress hormones and other toxins that
0:52
are flushed from the body during Crying
0:55
In This Way tears are our body's natural
0:57
mechanism for finding release and
1:00
restoring balance but once the Tears Dry
1:04
what comes next how do you move forward
1:08
when the path ahead seems invisible
1:11
while uncertainty is uncomfortable it is
1:13
also fertile ground for growth and
1:15
transformation scholars in positive
1:18
psychology like Dr Carol dwick emphasize
1:21
the importance of a growth mindset they
1:23
believe that challenges and
1:25
uncertainties are opportunities to learn
1:27
and improve when viewed through through
1:30
this lens uncertainty is no longer just
1:32
a void to be feared but a blank canvas
1:36
on which to paint a new version of
1:38
yourself Dr Victor Frankle Holocaust
1:41
Survivor and author of man's search for
1:44
meaning wrote that when we are no longer
1:47
able to change a situation we are
1:50
challenged to change ourselves frankl's
1:53
insights remind us that in moments of
1:55
uncertainty we have a choice to let fear
1:58
consumers or to find purpose in the
2:01
midst of the unknown so here are some
2:03
practical steps to help you Embrace
2:05
uncertainty focus on what you can
2:08
control the Serenity Prayer is a
2:10
grounding Mantra I often turn to God
2:13
grant me the serenity to accept the
2:15
things I cannot change the courage to
2:17
change the things that I can and the
2:19
wisdom to know the difference this
2:21
simple yet profound statement reminds me
2:24
to shift my focus from what is outside
2:27
my control to what I can actually
2:29
influence
2:30
my actions my mindset and my responses
2:33
when uncertainty looms it's easy to
2:35
spiral into the Whata ifs and try to
2:38
grasp for control over the
2:41
uncontrollable but if you focus on these
2:43
external factors you'll only make your
2:45
anxiety worse instead if you actually
2:48
focus on what you can control you
2:51
Empower yourself to take meaningful
2:53
steps forward no matter how small they
2:56
may seem for example your actions
3:00
whether it's preparing for a potential
3:01
outcome seeking advice or practicing
3:04
self-care these are the things that are
3:06
actually within your control your
3:08
attitude choosing hope over fear or
3:11
gratitude over resentment can change how
3:14
you experience the waiting the clutter
3:17
in your space or creating a calm
3:19
atmosphere can give you a sense of order
3:22
amidst chaos psychologist call this the
3:25
Locust of control the degree to which
3:28
you believe that you have control
3:29
control over the events in your life
3:31
research shows that cultivating an
3:33
internal locus of control where you
3:35
focus on your own agency rather than the
3:38
external forces leads to Greater
3:41
resilience and emotional well-being
3:43
uncertainty will always be a part of
3:45
life but by anchoring yourself in the
3:48
areas you can control you'll find
3:51
strength and Clarity to navigate the
3:53
unknown leading on support now I want to
3:56
encourage you to think about any
3:58
challenging circumstances that you faced
4:00
and how you got through them I'm
4:02
confident that in the memory of your
4:04
Triumph there's at least one person who
4:07
was there for you maybe it was a friend
4:09
who listened without judgment a family
4:12
member who offered unwavering support or
4:15
even a mentor who gave you the right
4:17
advice at the right time we often think
4:20
of strength as something we summon on
4:22
our own but more often than not our
4:25
resilience is fortified by the people
4:27
around us their words actions or simply
4:31
their presence can be the lifeline we
4:33
need to navigate the storm social
4:36
support doesn't just provide emotional
4:38
Comfort it also enhances problem solving
4:41
reduces stress and boosts our ability to
4:44
face challenges knowing that someone is
4:47
in your corner can make the difference
4:50
between feeling overwhelmed and feeling
4:52
empowered when you're in the midst of
4:55
uncertainty remember that you don't have
4:57
to face it alone Reach Out let someone
5:00
remind you of your strength share your
5:02
burden or simply sit with you in your
5:04
discomfort because sometimes the
5:07
greatest courage lies in letting others
5:10
help you find your way forward if you're
5:13
going through a tough time right now I
5:14
encourage you to reach out to someone
5:17
anyone who could l a listening ear or a
5:19
helping hand I remember once I was
5:21
feeling very overwhelmed like I couldn't
5:23
even see my way forward and my sister
5:25
simply said to me Rashana I know who you
5:28
are I know you be okay and that simple
5:32
statement made me feel a lot better I
5:35
don't know I don't know why but it did
5:37
so sometimes it's just little words
5:40
little statements that can make the
5:42
world a difference I could hear it
5:44
echoing my brain time and time again and
5:47
I want to say to you that I know that
5:49
you will be okay I hope you hear those
5:52
words echo in your brain over and over
5:55
again and I encourage you if you're not
5:58
in a tough place right now be that
6:00
someone for someone else look around at
6:03
the people in your life there's likely
6:05
someone who could use a kind word a warm
6:08
hug or a reminder that they're not alone
6:11
sometimes simply showing up for someone
6:13
can make the world a difference in their
6:15
journey through uncertainty you must
6:17
learn to let go release the stress you
6:20
were never in control anyways practice
6:23
mindfulness simply taking deep breath
6:25
can be a powerful way to ground yourself
6:28
in the present moment when uncertainty
6:30
feels overwhelming our body's stress
6:33
response kicks in often leading to
6:36
shallow rapid breathing this reaction
6:39
signals your brain that you're in danger
6:42
even if the threat is intangible by
6:45
practicing deep intentional breathing
6:47
such as the 47a technique inhaling for 4
6:51
seconds holding for seven and exhaling
6:54
for eight you activate your
6:56
parasympathetic nervous system which
6:58
calms your body body and your mind
7:00
research shows that deep breathing not
7:02
only reduces stress but it also improves
7:06
focus and emotional regulation however
7:09
mindfulness is not just about breathing
7:11
it's about anchoring yourself in the
7:13
here and now you can also try body scans
7:16
for instance close your eyes and
7:18
mentally check in with each and every
7:20
part of your body releasing tension as
7:22
you go sensory awareness is where you
7:25
focus on what you can see hear feel
7:28
smell and taste in the moment to bring
7:31
yourself back to the present you can
7:34
also practice guided meditation and apps
7:36
such as calm mindfulness or a headp
7:38
space offer tools to help you quiet your
7:41
mind and cultivate inner peace
7:43
mindfulness reminds you that while you
7:45
may not control the future you can find
7:48
Solace and stability in the present
7:51
moment reframe your perspective instead
7:54
of asking yourself what if everything
7:56
goes wrong try asking yourself what if
8:00
this is the start of something amazing
8:02
this seemingly small shift in mindset
8:05
can have a profound impact on how you
8:07
approach uncertainty research in
8:09
cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT
8:12
shows that reframing negative thoughts
8:14
into positive or neutral Alternatives
8:17
help reduce stress and Foster resilience
8:20
by choosing to view uncertainty as an
8:22
opportunity rather than a threat you
8:25
train your brain to look for
8:27
possibilities and solutions
8:30
rather than focusing solely on the
8:32
potential pitfalls this mental shift
8:35
opens the door for creativity and
8:37
Innovation this perspective doesn't
8:39
dismiss the reality of your fears it
8:42
reframes it it allows you to acknowledge
8:45
the discomfort while also inviting hope
8:48
and curiosity into the equation after
8:51
all some of life's most beautiful
8:54
chapters begin with moments of
8:56
uncertainty it is better to explore a
8:58
gainful uncertainty than sit in a
9:02
painful certainty embrace the unknown
9:05
stepping into the unknown requires
9:07
courage but it also offers a chance to
9:10
discover new directions uncover hidden
9:12
strengths and gain a deeper
9:14
understanding of yourself take a minute
9:16
to think about the moments in your life
9:18
where you faced the unknown it could be
9:20
a new job a major move or a difficult
9:23
decision while these experiences may
9:25
have been initially very daunting they
9:28
often brought unexpected rewards such as
9:30
new skills meaningful connections or
9:33
even a stronger sense of self in her
9:36
work on vulnerability breny Brown
9:38
emphasizes that stepping into
9:40
uncertainty and risk is the very
9:43
definition of courage vulnerability is
9:46
not winning or losing it's Having the
9:48
courage to show up and be seen when we
9:51
have no control over the outcome by
9:54
embracing the unknown you're not just
9:56
surviving you're daring to grow and
9:59
thrive in ways you could have never
10:01
imagined so when the path ahead is
10:03
unclear remind yourself that it's okay
10:06
not to have all the answers trust that
10:09
the journey however uncertain is leading
10:11
you to a place of growth and
10:13
transformation after all the treasure
10:16
you seek often lies just beyond your
10:19
comfort zone moving forward the truth is
10:23
life will always have moments of
10:25
uncertainty what matters is not how much
10:27
you can control but how willing you are
10:29
to adopt to grow and to trust the
10:32
process take it one step at a time one
10:34
day at a time embrace the tears the
10:37
fears and the chos knowing that within
10:40
them lies the potential for
10:42
transformation so I encourage you to
10:45
embrace the unknown it's where the magic
10:47
happens when nothing is sure everything
10:50
is possible
