Adjusting to Uncertainty: Learning to Live in the Grey

from Adjusting Podcast · host Justin G. Nelson

Most of us aren't just afraid of bad things happening, we're afraid of not knowing. In this episode we explore what it actually means to live in the grey, why certainty feels so necessary and what it costs us when we demand it, and how black and white thinking keeps us stuck in our relationships, our creative work, and our healing journey.We talk about how to expand your tolerance for uncertainty, what the body does when ambiguity feels like a threat, the connection between trust and the unknown, and the spiritual roots of certainty-seeking including what faith actually says about living without all the answers. Plus five things to consider as you start making peace with the in-between.If you've been waiting for everything to feel certain before you move forward, this episode is going to meet you right where you are.Let’s Connect! Website: www.adjustingpod.comSocial Media: @adjustingpod on Instagram | Facebook | Youtube | TikTokApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/adjusting-podcast/id1748188929Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Lyu594jw5luH1rujNcTZZ?si=386a7e7728f5461bAmazon Music/Audible: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/7863b34c-b85c-4f67-8044-10dd08cfb660/adjusting-podcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AdjustingPodcastSubstack Channel: https://justingnelson.substack.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chipsGuest/Topic submissions: [email protected]: Adjusting Podcast is NOT a substitute for professional diagnosis or treatment.
