Welcome back to my channel, Scott here for another video.
Now, does uncertainty make you worry and anxious?
Do you allow your thoughts to sit there and fester?
Do you allow them to accumulate and to manifest?
Watch this video for four helpful tips so you'll know how to handle uncertainty.
You'll feel much more at ease and much, much less stress.
Sound good?
Let's go.
Uncertainty.
Now, it can arise when you're waiting on an outcome that's out of your control.
For example, you may feel uncertain because you're waiting for the outcome of a recent
job interview that you went for, or a future event, or whether your Friday night date is
going to stand you up.
On the other side, you can also feel uncertain about things that are in your control.
Uncertainty can also be a direct reflection on you and your inner world.
On a personal note, you might be uncertain about how you feel about something, or who
you are as a person, or what you want in life, or what are your passions.
It relates to your thoughts and your feelings.
So, in this video, I want to give you four tips on how you can deal with these thoughts
and feelings.
The first relates to what's in your control as in your feelings, your thoughts, your decisions,
whatever the root of the uncertainties, I reckon doing a good, solid brain dump.
Grab the pad, grab the pen, and just write, whatever way you want to do it.
You can create a pros and con list.
You can just write out the three pages.
You can just keep on writing.
The point is you want to create the certainty around the uncertainty, the confusion in what
you're thinking, so you can actually make a clear decision and put yourself more at
ease.
I also recommend self-reflection session.
I do these all the time.
They're very, very good.
They're going to help you unpack your thoughts and your feelings, so you can produce the
answers and actions that you need to create that certainty that you're after.
If it's uncertainty around where your passions lie, what you want out of life, how you can
perform at a higher level, I'll put in the description below, I'll link you to my ultimate
self-reflection guide.
That's an amazing free resource to help you unpack your thoughts and produce at high levels.
The next three tips that follow this are going to be how to handle and accept uncertainty
from external sources, and just in general, how do you accept uncertainty?
So, let's roll into tip number two.
Reduce worry and stress.
So, how do we do this?
Well, you want to practice positive self-talk and train yourself to manage negative self-talk,
or any other associated limiting thought patterns.
Are you debilitated by over-worrying or you're freaking out about things that may happen,
or could happen, or you're anxious because you're sitting there waiting about an outcome
that is actually out of your control?
I've been there.
I've been in that dungeon.
I've been in that dark place for many years, and I had to work my butt off to get out of
there.
I had to train my brain, essentially rewire it, so I can think in a more productive and
positive way, a more empowering way, or in a more controlled manner.
Now, I run the ship now.
I can say that, and this has helped tremendously to clear up any issues around uncertainty.
I highly recommend checking out this video here.
It's goes deep into how to beat negative self-talk, and how I did that, how I rewired it.
If this is something that you are challenged with, check it out there.
Number three is to care less about other people's opinions.
People get so caught up in what other people think, if they like something, or if they
like you.
Guys, there's no point in losing sleep with this kind of uncertainty.
Instead, what you should be doing is focusing on enhancing your self-esteem, and practice
and work on a growth mindset, and being more confident in your abilities and your potential.
Take the time to get clear on you, and just triple down on expanding your true authentic
self, and bettering yourself every day, every single day.
Do this and you're progressively going to care less about what other people think, and
you just going to find it easy to accept situations and just let them play out.
Number four is just to go with the flow and bring the joy.
Bring the happiness.
Bring the laughter to life.
You don't have to be in control about everything.
Just go with the flow.
So, take the work situation.
You can't control the outcome of this.
You did your best.
You went for the interview.
Now, just wait for the outcome, and then when you get the result back, well, you can either
celebrate, or alternatively, okay, you didn't get the jobs, so, let's relish the opportunity
to assess what can we do better and learn from it.
But, either way you should be going in and viewing it as a win win regardless.
Now, you know how to accept uncertainty and live with more mental freedom.
