Are you ready for the unpredictable?

Ok, you can unfurrow your brows now.

I realize it’s obvious you can’t be ready for the unpredictable because you don’t know what will happen next.

Or can you?

What if there was a way to always be prepared for the unpredictable?

What if you could find a way to remain steady in the face of unpredictability?

There’s always a gap in time or space between an unpredictable event and your response, and you can learn to manage that space.

The key is to make the moments between the event and your response work to your advantage. And it starts with a decision.

Although, at times, it might not seem as though you don’t have time to decide how you will respond, the reality is that you do. It’s just that, in most cases, you default to how you’ve always responded.

Practice not responding. Literally, when you see or hear something, don’t respond. Or respond in the opposite to how you would typically do so.

A quick caveat, you don’t have to tell anyone you’re doing this. This is just practice for you.

The more you practice, the better you’ll become at handling unpredictable situations because you’ll learn that, almost always, it’s your response to the event rather than the event itself.

Also, keep in mind that you’re already great at handling the unpredictable. It’s just the size of the unpredictable events that throw most people off.
