Uncertainty

By Nipun Chadha



" Trust the wait. 
Embrace the uncertainty.
Enjoy the beauty of becoming.
When nothing is certain, anything is possible." 
- Mandy Hale


You know the feeling of driving on roads that are unknown? 
How clueless you feel seeing the path in front of you;
And how you are constantly trying to figure the way out of reach to a desirable point from
somewhere you started. 
Compare this to how you feel driving on the roads just outside your home.
How comfortable it is, how prepared you are for the potholes. Just how easy it is to be in the moment.

The point I am trying to make is that uncertainty is uncomfortable. Especially when you are in a very comfortable bubble. 
But here’s a thing about bubbles. The higher they fly, higher is the probability of that bubble breaking due to the pressure it deals with.

Yes, uncertainty is uncomfortable. 
But coming back to my example of an unknown road. 
Do you know how amazing it feels when you finally reach your destination despite all the uncertainty? The adrenaline rush of knowing that you made it by yourself (Yes, I know google maps exist, but hear me out).

That is exactly the case with our lives. We spend most of our lives living in a comfortable position.
However, we are constantly in search of what we desire; because it does not exist in our comfort zone. 
We have to break out of that bubble, survive the fall, and somehow get back up to take the path never taken by us, find a direction towards our deepest desires.
So as I understand, uncertainty can trigger a lot of fear and anxiety. 
I feel we are doing a great job if we break out of our sweet and happy bubbles and embark upon the journey on a long foreign road.

5 Tips to instantly feel better

I wish that life was merry 100% of the time. Life is, sadly, not always enjoyable. But does this mean that it's got to be bad? I hate to feel down; I know that it's a part of life, and there's no escape. However, I seem to feel depressed for no reason or remain sad sometimes. There is no shame in feeling down, so there's no reason for you to stay down. I find it unreasonable to stay in a bad mood for more than 5 minutes. Your acts are the only thing that you manage. This means that you can choose to do something that cheers you up. Here are 5 things that I do, and you can try to instantly feel better- 1. Watch Something Funny I watch something funny every day because it's good for you. What laughing does to you is this: Relaxes the whole body Strengthens the immune system Reduces the hormones of stress Causes endorphin release Protects the heart Just open up YouTube and watch the funny stuff. I love some channels like Kanan Gill , Rahul Dua , Nishant Suri , Vir Das ...

F-It list

 I have realized that I have always been an “I want to do it all,” kinda person. But there are moments when I don't want to hustle; instead, I want to lie the fuck down. Take it from someone who has consumed chamomile tea, tried meditation, and booked me-time in the calendar in an attempt of being her 'best self'. Balance isn't found at the bottom of a pricey tea or as the conclusion of a yoga lesson. Instead, it's a state of mind. And something that has really been working for me is - ' A Fuck-It list' We spend a lot of time checking things off our to-do lists, creating aspirational Pinterest boards, and pondering our next big goal, dream, or plan. Then we wonder why we've burned out. Answer honestly- How much time and effort do you put into stuff that doesn't really matter? Or activities that you think you "should" do rather than those that you really want to do? STEPS TO MAKE A FUCK-IT LIST -   Make a mental or physical list of all the t...

Unfinished

We were friends before the story actually starts. We met in college. I told him stories of my awful ex-boyfriend, and he indulged in my fantasies of murder. We would sit in his car, talking about how easy it would be to sneak poisonous leaves into their burgers. He told me about his school life; the obsession with movies and shows. And all this seemed impressive to the girl with no friends. Our friendship took years to turn romantic, but it did. He was fun and wild, and he really seemed to get me. He made me feel special, like a femme fatale, like I was in a movie. We had a lovely start - all intense connection and creative collaboration. For the first time, I felt heard and seen. He made me feel safe and special. An intoxicating combination.  It was different right away. I didn't want to date him, I wanted to be his partner. I wanted to skip all the awkward dating (we did) and arrive at the comfortable, compatible thing, always things. I had found my guy. Part of th...
