Following the recent elections, Israelis are grappling with a period of significant uncertainty regarding the formation of the next government and its ability to address national challenges. This ambiguity, while causing stress and anxiety for many, also presents an opportunity for personal growth and hope, according to Dr. Osnat Raziel, an expert in obesity treatment and healthy longevity. The human brain naturally seeks certainty, and a lack of it can trigger stress responses, leading to sleeplessness, fatigue, and emotional eating. Individual reactions to this uncertainty vary, with some needing control and planning, others prone to worst-case scenarios, and some finding optimism in new possibilities.
Raziel suggests that prolonged uncertainty can be viewed as a double-edged sword: frightening yet also a catalyst for excitement and anticipation, similar to other major life changes like new relationships or career shifts. She emphasizes that true hope lies not in knowing the future will be as desired, but in the belief in one's ability to grow and create a good life regardless of external circumstances. A common mistake during such times is to postpone living, waiting for definitive political outcomes before making personal plans or decisions.
To maintain well-being amidst this ambiguity, Raziel advises distinguishing between what is controllable and what is not, limiting news consumption to specific times, and prioritizing physical health through adequate sleep, exercise, and balanced eating. Crucially, she encourages continuing to make personal plans, such as vacations or new learning endeavors, with flexibility to adapt to changing realities. Personal joy, she notes, is not indifference to national issues but a vital component of resilience. True peace comes not from knowing everything will be perfect, but from the confidence in one's ability to cope, adapt, and pursue what is important, even as the nation's future is still being determined.
