Abstract

So often we find ourselves in circumstances outside our control. We speculate the outcome based on past experience and current information, often attempting to make accurate predictions of what will happen next. Kenya’s presidential election is a prime example, as the anxiety of many was influenced by the events that occurred in the last one. Worrying is a natural response when feeling uncertain. Sometimes the anxious ruminations become a habit, as even the small “unknowns” trigger our imaginations to consider countless possible outcomes. But no amount of worry will improve a situation; the only likely repercussions are the negative effects on ourselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
