How To Find Certainty In Uncertainty - The Healthy Way

In partnership with

People can spend their entire lives correctly solving the biggest problems, only to realize they were asking the wrong questions.

Life's a lot like driving through thick fog. No one actually knows what’s next. Think about it.

When we get pissed off or emotionally triggered, we swerve hard, thinking those intense feelings are pointing us in the right direction. But the truth is, those emotions aren't real clarity or true values—they just fool us into feeling sure when we're actually lost.

As a result, we remain unaware, looping from anger to sadness and grief, often realizing too late that we've been heading in the wrong direction, and ending up feeling stuck in what Tony Robbins calls the “crazy eight.”

How do I know? I have been there way too often.

Why do people do this ? I am glad you asked.

It is because people have an inner need for certainty and significance. When life feels unpredictable and overwhelming, anger and sadness can provide a misguided but powerful sense of control and importance. Anger makes us feel empowered and significant, even if it's destructive, while sadness offers a predictable, albeit painful, emotional state. These emotions become unhealthy coping mechanisms, creating an illusion of stability and self-worth, temporarily satisfying our deeper needs but ultimately leading us further away from true fulfillment and direction.

Very much like a sugar high, it provides your brain with a boost of energy until it doesn’t and you are left with your mood crashing down.

This week I had a call with one of Tony Robbins’ head coaches; his name is Scott. He was my coach back in 2017 and in part thanks to him, I achieved over 3 million USD in sales with my former company that year.

So I thought I would share with you same remarkable insights I was lucky enough to gain and also share a gift with you since today is my birthday 🥳

Three Things I have learned this week

1. Grief is a change we didn’t want

2. Purpose is rooted in an inner belief and a deliberate choice. It entails accepting that, despite all the suffering, a higher power has a plan for us and that this plan promises ultimate reward and fulfillment.

3. It doesn’t matter how often you fail at things; you can still get up and try again. In business, you only have to get it right once.

In my journey as a digital nomad, I've often faced the challenge of maintaining certainty amidst constant change. This theme, which I've touched on in previous episodes like "Why So Many Digital Nomads Are Depressed," delves into how ever-changing environments and locations can wreak havoc on our psyche.

The uncertainty we face is real and can lead to feelings of instability, isolation and, thus, loneliness.

However, it's crucial to find a balance. To counteract the external uncertainties, we can anchor our minds with an inner sense of certainty. This means having a clear vision and understanding of our values, goals, and the direction in which we are headed.

This realization inspired me to create something I'm incredibly proud of: my first digital product, a Digital Nomad Notion template.

The Nomad Mastermind

Over the last few months, I've poured my heart, dedication, and effort into building this platform. It is designed specifically to tackle the unique challenges digital nomads face by providing a structured way to achieve clarity and stability in life.

This is like a mental anchor that, whenever things get to crazy around you, brings you back to what matters to you by acting as an inner compass, helping you define and align with your vision, values, and goals.

It offers a clear, measurable, and achievable path that brings a sense of purpose and fulfillment. By using this tool, you can navigate the uncertainties of nomadic life with a solid foundation, ensuring that you are always moving forward with confidence and clarity. And even if you get distracted and are derailed from your path, which can always happen, you have the ability to self-correct through reflection and get back on track where you left it.

It is really powerful.

Creating this product has been very personal, and it addresses a problem that I have deeply experienced myself to the point of total frustration.

I wanted to share this with other digital nomads to help them create a stable and rewarding journey. This tool is about more than just organization; it's kind of a second brain that can guide you through the ever-changing landscape of digital nomadism.

I invite you to explore this template and integrate it into your life. Remember, true certainty comes from within, and with the right tools, you can achieve anything.

If you missed the previous discussion on how uncertainty affects us, you can also read more about it in my earlier newsletter, "The Dark Side of Digital Nomadism."

The Nomad Mastermind is a step towards addressing those very issues and empowering you to create a more grounded and fulfilling life.
