YOUR RESULT
UNCERTAINTY OR PRESSURE
It’s likely that you’re dealing with an overload of pressure and/or uncertainty.
That pressure you're sensing could be coming from needing to make decisions and become clear, but you're also fighting against the sensations fog, lack of focus, and overwhelm.Â
You might feel uncertainty if you're in transitional state, undergoing an identity-level shift, or figuring out your next move while life feels in “flux” can be uncomfortable to sit with.
Both of these feelings can activate your sympathetic fight/flight response in your nervous system, making it feel like you need to move and take action, but you're battling with fatigue, fog, and fear...making it more difficult to make decisions.
Â
Things To Focus On:
Shift your relationship to this experience to compassion, positive self-talk, and grace. Remember, this is likely a natural response to your current stressors, and being at war with yourself will only get you so far. "It makes sense that I feel this way, based on the circumstances."
Make changes based on the lowest hanging fruit:Â if a deadline can be extended, extend it. If something is causing you to feel too much pressure, communicate that you're taking an extra few days before deciding. If someone else is involved in those decisions, set up a conversation so you can give yourself what you need.
Communicate to anyone you need to about your newfound awareness, and find the courage to be vulnerable or receive support.
Create more certainty where you can, even by reminding yourself what you do have control over: your actions.
Reinforce self-trusting actions like engaging in helpful habits and practices.
