what is a healthy way to deal with uncertainty?
#1
what is a healthy way to deal with uncertainty?
i am planning on buying a camaro this sunday, but having huge bouts of anxiety like, "what if its a lemon?" or "what if someone buys it before me?"

back when i was christian i'd say "well, if God planned it for me, it will work out, if it doesn't its for the best." .....and if it worked out i'd be super praising jesus, but if it didn't work out id be like WTFF WHYY GOD DAMN IT WHYYYY???

So how would you deal with uncertainty? what keeps u together in anxious moments? how do u know things will be okay?

for me, i'm trying to practice my zen philosophy such that, all we have is this moment and can't predict the future. so live life moment to moment, and if it does get sold, deal with the frustration then, rather than suffer it now for the chance that the painful event doesn't even exist yet, and it may not even.
