what is a healthy way to deal with uncertainty?

[Edwardo Piet]

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.

You're on the right track, stick at it and persist, thoughts that it's not working and doing the opposite as a result of self-doubt are your enemy.

Don't analyze whether, when and where you are in and also not in the "present moment". . . "Because when you do that I can assure you that you are definitely not in the present moment, so don't get caught up in that illusion". It seems to me to be both ironic and also maybe even paradoxical that when you contemplate the present moment, you are no longer in it.

"The idea is to discontinue any thoughts that are leading in a direction that you do not want at all and, also, since speaking is thinking aloud, to also discontinue topics that are leading in a direction that you do not like, unless it is something that you necessarily truly can and truly need to "work out"".

Besides, if you cannot solve the problem in a positive state of mind, you certainly won't be able to when your perspective is colored by anxiety and or pessimism. Generally unless it's a genuine urgency or an emergency, it's worth dropping a negative topic that's going nowhere.

"So, one can drop negative trains of thoughts as one completely drops a topic they don't like. Think to yourself "Anyway" and don't even try to change the train of thought or topic particularly, just absolutely drop the thought-train/topic completely: discontinue it. Then, let the conversation/thought-process flow and interrupt it again if it gets unpleasant again".

Mindfulness is connected to this.

"I see mindfulness as a wiser and less anxious version of "carefulness" which is not to be confused with "care" or "taking care": I actually see that as more like being mindful than being "careful". It seems to me that most people who try to be "careful" are actually trying a bit too hard and also need to learn how to be less anxious; more "carefree". Carefreeness I see as a positive feeling connected with mindfulness that is neither reckless "carelessness" nor "carefulness" soaked in hidden anxiety, nervousness or worry."


I hope that some of this helps.
