Dear Human 💕,

I can see you’re stressing out over how things will turn out.

Let me remind you that you cannot control the future. It’s unpredictable. I know that human brains don’t like uncertainty at all. So, they catastrophize and create all those what-if scenarios. It makes the future look scary.

What if we don’t feel comfortable in the new apartment in the new neighborhood?

What if I don’t do well in the new position?

What if the party will be awkward and I don’t have anyone to talk to?

What if that box is a trap?

Yes, everything could go terribly wrong, but it also could turn our great. You don’t know. You can do your best, but there’s only so much you can control.

Instead of being afraid of the future, be curious about it.

I wonder how the new apartment in the new neighborhood will be.

I wonder how the new position will be.

I wonder how the party will be.

I wonder how it feels to sleep in that box.

Fear paralyzes, while curiosity let’s you explore what’s coming.

So, let’s see how it goes!

Yours,
Cat 🐾

P.S. If things don’t turn out the way you would like, you can always change course. Move to a different apartment, move to a new position, leave the party. It’s certainly disappointing when things don’t work out, but that’s life. Some things work out, others don’t.
