The world is an uncertain place, even more so as we deal with a pandemic. Experts don’t know exactly what to expect, so it’s important that we learn how to deal with uncertainty. As we prepare for the unknown and adapt behaviors, the following are tips for reducing anxiety and decreasing stress.

CoronavirusBecoming More Comfortable with Uncertainty

Face the fear. Worry that comes from not knowing what to expect can easily become overwhelming. The first step is to acknowledge that fear is a normal reaction. The second step is to decide not to let fear take over.

Recognize what you can control. Obsessing over “what ifs” can drain us of energy very quickly. We need to ask ourselves, “Is this something I have control over? Is there some action I can take to make things better?” Focus only on what you can control and what you can do to make things better.

Stay flexible. With an ever-changing pandemic, we can expect new information frequently. This will require us to adapt to the recommended guidelines that keep us safe. Try to be ready and willing to change your responses as recommended by the experts, CDC, WHO and HHS.

Take care of yourself. Our mental health and wellness are even more important during times of uncertainty. Take steps to keep stress under control. Get extra sleep and adequate nutrition. Find ways to exercise both your body and brain. Create activities that provide pleasure as a part of your daily routine.

Keep perspective. While this crisis may be new for many of us, our world has survived similar events in the past. We have better access to information and ways to stay connected when we can’t be in physical contact. Try to find a “new normal” for now, eventually, this pandemic will pass.

Find something positive. It may help to tune out the news a few hours before bedtime and consciously focus on something positive. It’s helpful to make a daily practice of noticing and appreciating the good even during stressful times.
