Yet most of us were never taught how to handle it well. The truth is, uncertainty isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s one of the most challenging psychological states humans face.

Here’s your practical toolkit for navigating the unknown with more ease and resilience. Understanding Your Uncertainty Response Before we can manage uncertainty, we need to understand what’s happening in our minds and bodies when we face it.

But lately I’ve been starting to wonder where the easygoing part of me disappeared to but I have been dealing with big challenges since I was young.  I had two siblings commit suicide in my life and that left a mark on my life.  I’m going to guess that the majority of us would prefer to be in control of our lives rather than having someone else determine everything for us.
