Go with the Flow and Embrace the Uncertainty

Go with the Flow and Embrace the Uncertainty

Author: Tracey Benson April 28, 2020 Duration: 26:03

The quality of your life is directly in correlation with the amount of uncertainty you can tolerate.” – Tony Robbins


Think about your best day, think about the best moment of your life. I’m sure you’ve had some hiccups along the way before experiencing that amazing memory, but the choices you’ve made and the decisions you took helped you overcome those bumps in the road and find joy and peace on the other side.


What if you could have that feeling every single day of your life?


The world would definitely be so amazing if we all felt joy on a daily basis and if we were all content with knowing that we’re doing our best while accepting the things in our life that we cannot control.


Listen to Episode 02 of Joyful-Souls, where I am going to talk to you about the need people have for certainty and/or uncertainty – which is also variety - and how in many cases it’s better to just go with the flow and not fight the circumstances and things that are beyond our power to change.


In this episode, you will learn:

  • How resisting uncertainty leads to negative feelings like stress, frustration, and anger. (03:42)
  • The reasons why our brain runs from uncertainty. (05:25)
  • How I learned to feel comfortable with the unknowns that surround me. (07:14)
  • How going with the flow allows you to have more joy and peace on the other side. (09:52)
  • How striving for perfection prevents you from doing what you love. (11:11)
  • Why now more than ever, during COVID-19, we have to embrace uncertainty. (12:56)
  • The first steps you can take to start your journey of accepting the uncertainties in your life. (18:47)
  • The importance of having someone around that can help you bounce back when you get stuck. (22:48)
