Change is constant, but when I know it's coming, I feel a pit of anxiety in my solar plexus.
I’m much more comfortable reacting in the moment, trusting my intuition than preparing for it in advance.
Anticipating change throws me off balance.
In the moment, I can trust myself to adapt, but knowing change is coming triggers overthinking and stress.
The unknowns—how things will unfold, how I'll feel—create tension that builds up.
I’m at my best when I can react on the spot.
The challenge for me is managing the discomfort around planning for change without losing the ease I find in spontaneous response.

understand this . it's hard to sit with ambiguity . have considered trying an improv class in order to improve reactions .
oh! i'm really, really comfortable sitting with ambiguity, it's my comfort zone in business and life tbh, i'm great under pressure, and very confident in making decisions on the fly and getting shit done. the situation I'm describing in my post is about the heightened sense of anxiety when I know a change is coming, the date is on the calendar, it has been announced, i'm doing things to prepare for it, and I have to wait for it to arrive before anything happens. I'm impatient, have too much time to think, and sometimes I overthink. adding to the anxiety even more.
