The fear of uncertainty
It’s only a day of the year. Or is it? Why do humans feel the urge to celebrate certain days in our lives? Especially these days, when the sense of belonging to our wider community is even more important than before. How did you feel when mindnight struck? What thoughts were going through your mind? What does ‘happy’ actually mean to you? What is going to be ‘New’ in your life from today?
The word: New Year... It’s so magical,full of hope or full of fear? Isn’t it satisfying to think that we actually left something behind and stepped into something new and exciting. We don’t like to think about that it is just an other cold, grey and foggy winter day. We still have months or weeks like this ahead. Instead we celebrate the end of yesterday and welcome the new tomorrow with special rituals depending on our traditions, cultures, motivations.
Deep down in our subconscious there is the anxiety of knowing the that nobody knows the future , it is uncertain and naturally unpredictable. We opened the door last night to 2021 carefully peeping behind it now. Are you brave enough, strong enough to admit that you are worried? Are you ready to face to truth? Take the first step toward whatever goals you have in mind. Don’t forget asking for help is the bravest thing you ever do ...
