![Empower Yourself in the Face of Uncertainty 2 EN 970x250 1](https://mljzorxmtdso.i.optimole.com/cb:HlUK.4958e/w:auto/h:auto/q:mauto/https://www.redhoney.in/wp-content/uploads/EN-970x250-1.jpg)
It’s natural to fear the unknown, but uncertainty doesn’t have to be debilitating. Here’s how to empower yourself to step confidently into the unknown and seize the opportunities it presents.
- Reframe. Every situation has upsides and downsides. When faced with uncertainty, focus on the former, rather than the latter.
- Prime yourself. There are many types of risks: financial, intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and so on. Identify which ones you have a natural aversion to or affinity with. This will help you approach uncertain situations with more self-awareness and confidence.
- Take small steps. If you’re unsure how a situation or idea will play out, starting modestly can be more effective and less anxiety-provoking than trying to do everything at once.
- Prepare yourself for setbacks. It’s frustrating when something doesn’t turn out the way you’d hoped or intended. Allow yourself to feel disappointed and frustrated, then ask yourself, “What insights can I take away from this?” You’ll be able to learn from the setback and adopt a new approach.
