Adapting to uncertainty as a practice

   Adapt and overcome 

     The ability to adapt to all conditions is a rewarding experience that can known to all of by first putting into practice this as a mindset and we will notice our perspective change. A warrior is able to stay calm and respond with an action plan after considering many things with wisdom. Most of us have been practicing reacting with fear, anxiety and stress which benefits no one and results in a mindset of defeat. This does not have to be how we take on conditions, circumstance, or challenges any more.

   The ability is already there

   You have already experienced this and the ability is certainly with in all of us, if not we would never survive. There is a primitive, raw and simple part of us that will find a way to adapt. You learned to walk despite the amount of times you fell, but never just sat down and quit trying. You can see a toddler find a way to climb, and a teenager learn to organize strategy. Countless stories of survival show it is in us. You make sure that you have food, water, shelter, clothing.  This is all done by planning, carrying out actions with understanding of result. The ability to respond to crisis is in us, as is the pattern of reacting when things don't go our way. Seeing that difference is giving arise to wisdom, and saved alot of time. This ability is already there in you.

  Practice is ongoing

   If you have not yet noticed things don't seem to go the way we want, and it often seems life is full of set backs one after another non-stop. We kind of expect life to be good, and are let down when we stay in a mindset of should, would, could or some form of regret. This is what most of practice, along with the visualize all the things that could go wrong. Reacting in anxiety to our fears. These practices go on as if it was our nature, although it's just what we have done. There are better options that we can practice and in time the warrior mindset will be our nature. It is really a return home of what we have started with.

   Developing skills as tools 

     Mindset/ perspective 
    Having the proper tools for a job saves alot of time and energy.  Getting tools for adapting to uncertainty first comes with the perspective that every thing is teaching us. Another way of putting that is looking at what we once called a problem as an opportunity.
    
     Stillness/ creating space for wisdom 
    Unless you are in a life or death situation you never need to react immediately. Right here is where we just pause, and it is also right here we can see how reacting only is like throwing fuel on a fire. So by just not reacting we begin to give space for wisdom to arise. The best time in life to do nothing, and save much regret. The practice of doing nothing, aka refraining will definitely show immediately as a value. Practice will make this easier as you experience the freedom of understanding you don't have to react, and eliminate time spent in anger, anxiety, stress ECT.

   Accepting the truth of impermanence 
  Nothing stays in the same state, every cell in your body is continuing to change. Every thing that arises will cease. This includes life forms, people, plants, and animals as it does states of mind. Pleasure and pain both arise and cease. It is unrealistic to expect nature to be different, yet much of our suffering comes from not spending time with this. Accepting this prepares us as well as creates much more value for things.

   Assess the situation 
 After you implement the pause long enough to regain a calm state of mind you can begin to look at the situation. As you do this it is amazing that many times it is our personal comfort that has been tampered with and this is a reoccurring theme. How ever, that is not always the case. We will face loss of a loved one, and many other things that require a process of accepting. Financial crisis may occur, and still we can react or respond. If there is action that can be taken it will be through the time of calm that we can develop a strategy to change.
 
  The more time we spend in a place of calmness we experience that there is refuge in each moment, just as space between breath. We can reach a place of stillness despite circumstance.
