Give mindfulness a try. Not knowing what the future holds is one of the reasons why people feel anxious right now. That’s why it’s effective to try to be in the present moment, practicing meditation and mindfulness and focusing, which encourages you to notice what’s happening with your feelings in the moment in a compassionate way. 

Your instinct might be to try to ignore your anxiety, sadness or confusion, but that won’t make you feel better in the long run. People tell me this exercise brings an immediate sense of feeling grounded and calm: 

1. Pause. Take time to go inside. Notice if there’s a place in you that feels tight, tense, worried, or overwhelmed. 
2. Use this language. I’m sensing something in me that feels __________. 
3. Let yourself acknowledge it. Notice where you feel it right now. 
4. Be curious about it. You don’t know all about it, do you? Invite it to show you or tell you more about what it is.
5. Whatever comes, just be with it  compassionately and not judgmental toward it and notice if that brings a shift, even a small one.
