Until I know where I am going to live, I can’t plan what neighborhood I’d like to live in, where I’ll practice yoga, or what events I’ll attend to meet people. The most difficult part of uncertainty, at least for me, is the inability to plan and feel in control.
What is in my hands is what I plan-what I will actively do when I get there to meet friends, find balance, and live the life I want.

I might be lonely in LA, or I might move into an apartment building full of yogis who enjoy Scrabble. Instead of expecting the future to give you something specific, focus on what you’ll do to create what you want to experience. If you expect the best, you’ll create a vision that’s hard to live up to. If you expect the worst, you’ll probably feel too negative and closed-minded to notice and seize opportunities. You can guide your tomorrow, but you can’t control the exact outcome. When you form expectations, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. Though I’ve written before about embracing an uncertain future, I have a few more ideas to add to the mix: 1.
Since I am straddling familiarity and the unknown, waiting to form some type of expectations for my future, I’ve been thinking a lot about dealing with uncertainty well. The only constant in life is that it will involve change, and try as you may to control the future, sometimes all you can do is trust that whatever happens, you can adapt and make the best of it. Though I’m dealing with a lot more change than usual, the reality is that most days start and end with uncertainty.Įven when you think you’ve curled into a cozy cocoon of predictability, anything could change in a heartbeat. My world is a towering stack of mights right now. I might make new friends easily in my new area it might take me a while to find like-minded people. I might balance everything well I might feel overwhelmed. If we move, I might enjoy LA I might not. It may provide enough money, or I might need to get some other work to supplement. It might be something I can do in under two days a week, or it may require more time. I am starting a new work-from-home writing gig to pay my bills while I write my book. In three weeks, my boyfriend and I might move from the Bay area to LA, or we might move in here with roommates if he decides not pursue a film career.
