Moving Through Uncertainty

Find the next reliable foothold.

A situation in motion.

Repeated uncertainty can narrow your attention. Stay with dependable practices and real information rather than demanding a complete escape from risk.

A question for reflection.

What can you rely on while the larger situation remains unclear?

Bring it into your life.

Think of one recent moment that brings this theme to mind. Describe what happened before deciding what it means. Notice the response that felt automatic, then consider one different response you could try.

Hold the image of water below water alongside your situation: depth and uncertainty meeting depth and uncertainty. Let the relationship between them open a question.
