We all have moments in life when we feel disorientated and unsure where to go next. Maybe there’s a sense of shame for not knowing the answer. But the truth is it’s OK not to know; it’s OK to live in uncertainty, and “wait and see” is a viable option.
When we notice and then challenge our left-brain interpreter – the bit of our brain that’s constantly trying to piece together a narrative – we can start to make clearer decisions. And instead of rushing to a solution, we can identify the next best action, even if it’s as simple as going to bed or getting some exercise.
If we rush in, we can end up solving the wrong problem or getting stressed over not being able to solve something that doesn’t have an immediate solution. We might even ignore our own emotions, suppressing the feelings that are actually trying to guide us.
In this quick dip episode, Rachel helps us take a pause, reflect, and embrace the uncertainty in our lives.
Is there an area of your life that’s in flux? What would be the next best action to take right now? Remember, “wait and see”, “go to bed”, or “have a cup of tea” are all good answers!
