HA beats me most days of the week. I spend hours online researching crap, wasting time I will never get back. Anxiety costs me a lot, and I'm worried it's interfering with my job.
but the ONE thing that is helping me is realising that we can accept uncertainty about health, as we accept uncertainty about other things
The future is unwritten, all we can deal with is now, and we cannot predict our health. That sounds scary, but there are so many things we can't predict either
I was watching a show on astronomy on TV recently and guess what - we could get hit by an asteroid, solar flares could wipe out modern society and a nearby star could explode and mess up our climate big time (be like a second sun in the sky). All distinct scientific possibilities
So we can live with this uncertainty, but not when it comes to health.
And what about driving in the UK? That is pretty dangerous too but I bet most of us still drive
Interesting, eh?
