Managing Anxiety in Uncertain Times

By NuPerspective Team • 6 min read

Uncertainty can trigger our body’s natural stress response. In a world that’s constantly changing, it’s normal to feel anxious. But there are ways to regain a sense of calm and control.

Grounding Yourself in the Present

Simple grounding exercises — like naming five things you see or focusing on your breath — can reduce the physical sensations of anxiety. They help remind the brain that you are safe in the current moment.

Reframing Thought Patterns

Challenge anxious thoughts by asking, “Is this fact or fear?” Cognitive reframing helps you observe thoughts without getting caught in them, creating space for perspective and balance.

Build Daily Rituals of Calm

Set aside small, consistent rituals — morning reflection, mindful breaks, evening gratitude — to regulate your nervous system over time.

Remember: managing anxiety isn’t about eliminating it, but learning to respond differently to it. You can cultivate resilience through awareness and consistency.
