162. Into the Unknown

Episode 162 - Into the Unknown In this episode, I discuss the common fear of the unknown that many missionaries and returned missionaries face. I emphasize the importance of preparing for missions through my Mission Prep Plus program, which helps equip missionaries with the coping skills and tools they need to navigate the uncertainty of missionary work. I share tips for embracing uncertainty and growth, such as avoiding questions and "what-ifs" and instead using statements to reframe thoughts and actions. I encourage listeners to take only the next step, stay present in the moment, and view "I don't know" thoughts as exciting rather than problematic. I also stress the value of getting comfortable with uncomfortable emotions to build self-reliance on the mission. Finally, I emphasize that the only constant in life is change, and the only certain thing is uncertainty. I encourage listeners to face the unknown with courage, knowing that discomfort is a necessary part of growth. By choosing the "flavor" of fear that moves them towards their goals, listeners can overcome worry and anxiety and create the life they desire. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.   Website | Instagram | Facebook   Get the Full Show Notes HERE   Free PDF Download:  Preparing Missionary Cheat Sheet   My Free Training for Preparing Missionaries:  Change Your Mission with this One Tool   RM Transition Free Video Series:  3 Tools to Help RMs in Their Transition Home   Free Guide:  5 Tips to Help Any Returning Missionary   Schedule a Free Strategy Call:   Click Here
