Uncertainty Is Not a Mistake
I recently came across an article by Elena Vasileva called 'When the story no longer serves'. It looks at the uncomfortable spaces that open up during periods of change, and highlights a simple truth: uncertainty is not a mistake.
Often, you hit this turning point right when you notice that thinking has reached its limits. Analysing your world is no longer enough, and you have to move your attention down into the body.
That transition is rarely tidy. What begins as a simple conversation about change slowly reveals a deeper pressure beneath the surface: the expectation to remain steady, certain, and easily explainable even while everything is shifting around you.
It's common to personalise these periods of confusion, treating them as a personal flaw or a lack of direction. But uncertainty isn't a sign that something is wrong. Often, it's just a signal that an old story, or an old way of holding yourself, is beginning to loosen its grip.
This requires sitting in an in-between space, where your old way of doing things has softened but your next step isn't yet clear.
It's not about forcing an immediate solution or trying to fix the confusion. It's simply about creating the space to let things settle, and allowing what's already there to move at its own pace.
