Uncertainty and the unknown are stress for the psyche. Uncertainty is a state of critical lack of information, when this lack prevents you from making any relatively long-term choice. There is no possibility of forecasting, since it is impossible to influence an event. This means that powerlessness is also mixed in. The psyche reacts with anxiety. Moreover, anxiety is deprived of its main tool: control. - When there is no control, then events are larger than a person. - The planned future is destroyed. - There is no way to complete many processes. Stupefaction appears, which does not end. Life should be like this, but it became like this. We are ready for that life, but not for this one. The phenomenal adaptability of the psyche can help here. You can start through grounding.1. Grounding always works against chaos. The small works against the big. The known works against the unknown. Grounding is the ground under your feet, both literally and figuratively. It is also familiar, which means it is safe. I can cook porridge, but I can no longer plan a vacation. I don’t know when I’ll see my friend, but for now I can plant flowers on the windowsill. Yes, this is only a part of me. But this is what saves us from uncertainty, from powerlessness, from incompleteness. These are the small processes in which I have my influence. This is what I can do, against the background of what I can no longer do.2. Rituals. One of the types of grounding. Where, you can tell yourself - I’m still here and my life is still here too. And this is what was in a past, lived-in life, can be dragged into a new, uninhabited one. The preservation of rituals stretches a thread from the whole to the broken. 3. Completeness. When large processes are launched that have no end and edge, and our plans depend on their completion, and our influence on them is minimal, it is important to do two things: 1. Keep the goal. The success and safety of driving a car depends on where the driver is looking. Keep your eyes on the goal. “I will still work because I know how I want to feel in my work.” “I will still do what conceived, sooner or later.” This is the ability to postpone until the right moment, enduring not knowing whether this moment will come.2. Introduce completed processes into your life with visible results, especially in a state of acute uncertainty. That’s why women knit and bake when stressed. Knitted socks and a hot charlotte are completed processes. The main understanding that should be now is that the planning horizon has narrowed and the attempt to calculate something and plan ahead is accompanied by fear and despair. And here it is important to discover yourself / for this it’s all about I wrote earlier/. And only then determine your real planning horizon. If you have the strength, determine important points for a week in advance; if you can determine it for a month, even better. There is no strength, it’s difficult - leave yourself alone, act within the framework of your real horizon. Slowly expand this spot of the present moment. Step by step, thing by thing. And most importantly, continue to move towards what is really important to you, but maintaining contact with this very here and now. Because you have here and now and nowhere else. Look into your future from this moment. From another it is still impossible.
