Change is constant, but when I know it's coming, I feel a pit of anxiety in my solar plexus. I’m much more comfortable reacting in the moment, trusting my intuition than preparing for it in advance. Anticipating change throws me off balance. In the moment, I can trust myself to adapt, but knowing change is coming triggers overthinking and stress. The unknowns—how things will unfold, how I'll feel—create tension that builds up. I’m at my best when I can react on the spot. The challenge for me is managing the discomfort around planning for change without losing the ease I find in spontaneous response.
