How to Feel Certain When Things Feel Shaky (…and not in the usual “just think positive” way)

Hey lovebug,

UGHHHHHH.

The world is feeling extra stressful right now, right?

Lately, everyone I talk to falls into one of two camps:

1. “I can’t stop reading the news."
   
2. “I can’t even look at the news.”
   
   

Either way? It’s exhausting. It’s overwhelming. And it leaves you wondering, what the heck do I do when everything feels so uncertain?

Well, you’re in luck. I’ve got some ideas—and they’re not the typical ones you’ll find in a self-help book.

Let’s start with the one you might not expect:

Lift something heavy.

I know. You’re probably like, “Wait… exercise? Really?”

But yes—really.

When the world feels shaky, building your physical strength can help you feel steady again. 

You don’t have to be a bodybuilder! 

You can go for a walk with a weighted vest, do a few squats, or lift some 10-pound dumbbells for 15 minutes. Even that helps. 

When your mind is spinning, grounding into your body brings you back to your own power.

Go to bed way earlier. Like, 9:30pm early.

You might think that’s a bedtime for young kids, but listen: you’re probably more tired than you realize.

When you're sleep-deprived, the world feels a lot scarier. 

More rest = clearer thinking. Give yourself permission to really rest.

Slow. It. Down.

Take a moment right now and notice one thing with your senses. 

Maybe it's the scent of your tea or the feeling of soft fabric on your skin. 

Tune in just to that. Let it take up your whole focus for 30 seconds. 

These micro-moments of mindfulness calm your nervous system and remind you that right now, you’re okay.

Try future journaling.

You can’t control the economy or the headlines. But you can tell your brain a better story.

Here’s how: write about your dream life as if it’s already happening. 

Picture yourself happy, healthy, and deeply in love with your life, your people, and your purpose. 

The truth is, your brain is already future-journaling every time you worry about what’s coming. 

So rewrite the script with hope and joy instead.

Look, life is always going to have some unknowns.

But here’s what is true:

You’re strong.
You’re capable.
You can trust yourself.
You can lean on others.
And there are people out there who love and support you—even if you haven’t met them yet.

Sending you the biggest hug,
Rebecca*
