There are some people who are comfortable with uncertainty, others find uncertainty unsettling. Change when we know what is going to happen can be a challenge, however, when we are not sure what the future may hold, then our imagination can begin to run riot with ‘what ifs’’
This does not replace professional advice if you suffer an anxiety disorder, however, it may offer some ideas and points of reflection to consider, which may be helpful for your wellbeing.
Humans are kind of hard wired to scope for threats, so we do think about the negative ‘what if’s’ happen as we try and keep ourselves and those, we love safe. Wouldn’t it be great, if we also learned how to have nice ‘what ifs’ which were supportive of our dreams and aspirations? There are other pieces on the site around journalising and visualisation you may also find of interest.
