Mindset: How to Enjoy Life, Embrace Life's Uncertainty

Hello there and welcome to: The PhD Mommy's Journey Podcast – Episode 5 on Mindset: How to Enjoy Life, Embrace Life’s Uncertainty.

In this episode, Bri continues her exploration into the book, Unf*k Yourself, and emphasizes life’s uncertainty. Many people are afraid of change; as humans, we are creatures of habit. However, uncertainty is where new things happen...fun things, exciting things...and we need to embrace it! Bri talks about the addiction all humans have: the addiction of prediction. We want to know everything: the weather, who we are going to spend the rest of our lives with, how our lives will turn out, and so much more. The reality is, we don’t know; we can have everything planned, then life will hit us hard. That’s the uncertainty; also, that’s life. There is nothing you can do about it. The only thing you can simply do is embrace the chaos, embrace the calm, embrace the pain, the peace, embrace it all. Life changes; that’s the only thing certain about life.

That’s not all! Here’s what else you’ll learn along the journey: • Why obsessing over uncertainty is counterproductive. • Uncertainty is where new happens. • How easily we psyche ourselves out due to not believing in ourselves. • The importance of believing in ourselves (self-efficacy). • The power of pushing beyond the resistance. • The pathway to a successful life. • Why you shouldn’t care what people think. • Understand things will be beyond your control. • You can only control your response. • How to enjoy life right away.

I hope this episode truly inspires you to do better because you are better; you are amazing and you deserve to live a life you enjoy. You can live a good life; I believe you will live a good life.
