Managing Anxiety in Uncertain Times

Anxiety often grows when uncertainty feels unlimited. A useful first step is to separate what is unknown from what is actionable today.

Grounding techniques can help your body exit alarm mode. Try naming five things you see, four you feel, three you hear, two you smell, and one slow breath you can complete fully.

Then convert concern into a next step. Write down the worry, decide whether action is possible now, and schedule a time to revisit it if the answer is no. This keeps anxiety from owning the whole day.
