Recovery (Sort Of) - The Podcast

222: Is Uncertainty Holding You Back? (Sort Of)


Listen Later

We continue our conversation by exploring the challenges of navigating uncertainty and the fear of failure, particularly in the context of career choices and personal growth. We talk about impatience about not knowing the future, and a desire for control, despite enjoying aspects of planning. Perfectionism and the fear of making mistakes, especially when it comes to our children, are also anxieties we discuss.

Through sharing personal experiences, we offer reframing strategies for approaching uncertainty and failure. We emphasize the value of viewing past failures as learning opportunities that ultimately led us to positive outcomes. The concept of taking steps forward and trusting the process, even if the outcome is uncertain, is also highlighted. Similarly, reframing mistakes as valuable lessons is explored, drawing a parallel to how children learn through trial and error.

We also acknowledge the challenges of managing these anxieties in parenting situations. We discuss a struggle with perfectionism in relation to a child's cello playing, fearing their child will experience failure and judgment. Another speaker emphasizes the importance of unconditional support and avoiding projecting their own anxieties onto their child.
