Grounding in Uncertain Times: Finding Steadiness When the World Feels Shaky
Lately, I’ve been feeling the world’s pace inside my own body.
The noise, the urgency, the endless unfolding of things beyond my control. Some days I wake up and my system is already running: my heart beats faster, my breath is shallow, my mind is looping. Other days, I freeze. The weight of everything feels too much, and I find myself suspended between movement and stillness. I’m unable to act, yet unable to rest.
Leaning into Uncertainty
Life is an ever-evolving journey marked not by stability, but by perpetual change. As someone who has often struggled with uncertainty, I used to view it as a harbinger of chaos, allowing it to control my thoughts and frustrate me to no end. However, over time I learned that embracing uncertainty is not merely about managing anxiety—it's about engaging fully with life. It teaches us to accept and navigate life's fluid nature, recognising that uncertainty is not a deviation from the path; it is the path itself.
