Umbrage Under Umbrella of Uncertainty

Posted on May 29, 2022 by Joyce Barr, One of Thousands of Retirement Coaches on Noomii.

Are you experiencing unusual umbrage? Uncontrollable anxiety? Are you unsure what your next move is? Do not despair, my friends. Since the onslaught of the Covid-19 pandemic and living with more than 2 years of restrictions and protocols there are many of us who feel the same way. However, the real challenge at this point is to be patient with ourselves, and to strive to be ever present in the moment so that we can persevere and keep moving forward to brighter days.

We all know trouble has been brewing. But lately trouble seems to be lashing out around every corner, intruding upon every facet of our lives. It seems in these days of a worldwide pandemic, unjust wars, and increasing pressures of trying to live- with some barely living from paycheck to paycheck, our current trouble appears more prevalent and disconcerting. So much so that you may find yourself some nights awakening from sleep in a cold sweat! We can all relate; even those with a calm and positive nature, no one is immune. You can almost feel the choking pressure of current world events enveloping us under its umbrella. Or, perhaps as you try to live day to day, your plans to rise above your trouble seems threatened, and everything you have built or have plans to build feels endangered. However, as difficult as it may be, I want to encourage you to keep pressing on in spite of the uncertainty surrounding us all.

Peaceful and life-affirming interactions should not be viewed as something to desire but rather as something to pursue. We are bombarded constantly through technology and media with information, or worst, menacing misinformation that grate upon our resolve. But we should not let it burden us to abandonment. We must keep hope alive! Therefore, I implore you to let your umbrage motivate you to venture outside your comfort zone to manifest the life you deserve.

To You and Yours, Peace, Health, and Blessings!
