Our Uncertain Lives
When things don’t turn out as you expect, how is this for you? How comfortable do you feel with change?
Today on the podcast we are exploring uncertainty and how through mindfulness we can feel more comfortable with change, especially change that is unexpected.

We don’t like uncertainty even though uncertainty and change is part of life. There’s no way around it.
Everyone reacts differently to uncertainty and it is known that uncertainty increases stress. Often we aren’t aware of our reactions to uncertainty and yet these reactions impact our relationship to how we are and move in the world.
Through mindfulness practices we can get in touch with how our mind and body responds so that we can more easily be with uncertainty and even become curious about it and change our relationship to it.
