Uncertainty, Stress, Change, and Risk
It's important to acknowledge that fear is acceptable, but panic is not. A valuable exercise involves laying your cards on the table—examining the current scenarios and your feelings.
Feeling stressed is a natural response when the world around you undergoes drastic changes, causing your foundation to shift and leaving you uncertain about your position. This sensation often arrives in waves, but occasionally, you find yourself trapped in an endless loop.
Both the push and pull of extreme circumstances can trigger stress, which, if permitted, will come and go. Some uncertain situations are beyond your control, and when those around you attempt to grasp the reins, it amplifies these emotions.
It's important to acknowledge that fear is acceptable, but panic is not. A valuable exercise involves laying your cards on the table—examining the current scenarios and your feelings. Take the time to introspect and understand the reasons behind your emotions. Distinguish between the triggers that induce panic and those that provoke a sense of risk, fear, and potential growth. If panic continues to linger, you may need to delve deeper within yourself to summon the courage needed to confront and conquer it.
