I’m at a loss…

I’m in a state of shock from the recent election. Don’t worry, this is not another political post spewing rhetoric. I don’t have it in me. I feel like I have a million words swirling around in my head, yet I can’t quite formulate my thoughts. So for now, in my head they will stay, as I remain in the processing stage.

My heart is heavy, yet at the same time, full – in knowing and seeing all of the messages of love coming through the darkness. It’s what we can’t see, what we don’t know that frightens us the most and brings with it a degree of uncertainty that is entirely uncomfortable.

How though, do we make peace with uncertainty? I don’t know what the answer is for you. For me, I believe the answer lies inside myself. I must know with unwavering belief what I stand for, what my values are, and be open to being uncomfortable, to being challenged, to making peace with what is. If I am strong in my belief, my vision, then when uncertainty comes in, I have the space to welcome it in and learn to navigate it with an open mind. That’s what I’m going to try to do, anyways. We’ll see. As I said, I’m still processing.

The important thing to remember is to approach whatever uncertainty is thrown at you with healthy tools. There is no amount of stress eating or erratic behavior that will quell uncertainty — perhaps temporarily, but it is only that — temporary. If you are looking for healthy ways to process stress, anxiety, uncertainty, etc., then comment below or e-mail me ([email protected]) and let me know how I can help you.

Sending massive love your way. I’m glad to have you in my community.
