The tension of uncertainty can be quite overwhelming. Personally, I feel it in my chest. I recognize it coming, and I also notice when I layer it with more unproductive thoughts. Then I ask myself, “who’s in charge here?” As much as we can’t control the chaos in the world, we can be more productive and proactive when we take charge of our own self. Rather than ruminate over the past or fear for our future, we can accept what we’re feeling in this moment. This becomes training as we navigate through important decisions in our lives. And sometimes, honestly, it helps to just change the TV channel.
