Worried About the Future After the 2016 Election? Remember This...

In all elections, there will be jubilation and disappointments. Are you upset or worried about the future? An unavoidable fact of life is that things will happen that are beyond your control and make you feel uncertain about what's next. It could be:

  • a new job
  • loss of a job
  • diagnosis of a serious illness
  • getting a new president

It is natural to feel anxious in any situation you feel uncertain about the future. Breathe. Take one day at a time. This may mean taking one minute at a time on some days. You are not alone. Undoubtedly, many feel the same way as you. Also, sometimes our minds jump to the worst case scenario, which leads to unnecessary heightened anxiety. Keep your thoughts in check. Your fears may not become reality. Enjoy each moment now. Remember the blessings you have now.
