WHY AM I ALWAYS TRIGGERED BY UNCERTAINTY

Do you…
- Overthink what might go wrong?
- Always need a plan…and a backup plan?
- Question if you’re making the “right” choice?
- Overprepare “just in case” things go sideways?

If you’re nodding your head, you’re not alone. Many of us carry negative beliefs about uncertainty & they can quietly shape how we live, make decisions, & relate to the world.

Uncertainty is part of life. The future WILL bring surprises. Feeling uneasy before something new or unpredictable is normal. BUT if that fear is constant and impacts your mood, energy, or choices, it’s worth paying attention to.

These beliefs don’t come out of nowhere.
Maybe you’ve had a painful experience & now try to control everything to AVOID BEING HURT AGAIN. Or maybe low self-confidence leaves you DOUBTING WHETHER YOU CAN HANDLE WHAT’S AHEAD.

Either way, here’s something important to remember:
❌ These beliefs are NOT facts.
❌ They are NOT helping you feel safer in the long run.
❌ They keep you STUCK IN FEAR, constantly bracing for what MIGHT go wrong.

Instead of building trust in yourself to face uncertainty, these beliefs push you to either TIPTOE around it or AVOID it entirely which ONLY STRENGTHENS THE FEAR.

The good news? These patterns can change.
You can learn to approach uncertainty with more confidence, flexibility, and self-compassion. It starts by noticing the beliefs you’re carrying & questioning whether they’re still serving you.

You don’t have to control everything to feel okay.
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You’re allowed to grow, even in the unknown.

Save this for when uncertainty feels overwhelming & remind yourself: fear is loud, but it isn’t always true.
