[EP79] Sue looks into the topic of dealing with the fear of uncertainty when pursuing life goals such as leaving a nine-to-five job, starting a business, or moving to a new country. She explores the concept of embracing the journey and finding joy in the process rather than solely focusing on the outcome.

Drawing on examples from personal experiences and research, Sue discusses the importance of being present, practicing mindfulness, and attaching meaning and purpose to one’s actions. 

How to stop worrying about what might happen & start enjoying the journey

Instead of fearing uncertainty about the future, focus on being present and enjoying the journey towards your goals.

Incorporate mindfulness practices such as meditation, being present in the moment, and creating space to help cope with the stress of uncertainty.

Attach meaning and purpose to your actions and goals to withstand challenges and find fulfilment in the process rather than just the outcome.

Fall in love with the process of pursuing your goals, whether it’s a business idea, a passion project, or a life change, for the sake of doing it and finding joy in the journey.
