Curiosity allows us to flourish in uncertainty; it is a skill that continuously has us thriving.
One reason parenting can bring up anxiety is that children are tethered to their curiosity while the parent has become untethered.
As a species, this is one of the skills that has allowed us to evolve and innovate for centuries. Please recognize you have always been in uncertainty each moment, yet the construct has programmed you into believing if I follow if I listen to all the things outside of me, I will be safe and in control.
As a child, a majority of us become detached from our curiosity because we begin to believe using it will lead to harmful or dangerous experiences.
In a method of protection, we start to create a label and identify curiosity as harmful and dangerous, unknowingly by not listening to this innate guiding system; we become imprisoned in fear crippled by the thought that uncertainty will kill us.

Allow curiosity to come out and dare to believe that life is for you by allowing it to play.
Guide it with questions like;
"What would it look like if I enjoyed my time instead of force my way through?"
"What would it look like to created a rhythm that works for me to be open?"
Curiosity does not mean to be complacent and not responsible; that is inertia.
It is to use it in being accountable by continually asking
"How can I enjoyably utilize the skills that will bring fulfilment while serving others?"
Remember, when you speak of others, be included in that group.

Dare to allow curiosity to guide you through uncertainty with play to find the rhythm and frequency you need to thrive.
You hone this skill with continuous practice and remembering that learning means you are going to make mistakes and get hurt, yet you adapt in the process.

REMEMBER: Self-preservation is a dangerous mindset.
