I don’t know about you, but the world has a lot going on right now. Political tension, nonstop headlines, and uncertainty about the future can easily weigh on your spirit. In times like these, taking care of yourself is essential.

 Here are 7 Self-Care Tips During Uncertain Times.  These 7 practical ways to nurture your mind, body, and soul can help you remain grounded and resilient—no matter what’s happening in the world.  Here you go!

7 SELF-CARE TIPS

1. Limit Your News Intake

Stay informed, but don’t let the news dominate your mental space. Choose specific times to catch up on headlines and avoid constant scrolling or “doom-scrolling.” Protecting your peace starts with protecting your attention.  Your spirit will thank you!

2. Ground Yourself Daily

Morning prayer, journaling, deep breathing, or a quick walk outside—help quiet the noise and reconnect you to what’s real and steady. Start or end your day with something that centers you.

3. Move Your Body

This one, I will continue to repeat it.  You gotta move your body.  It releases stress and lifts your mood. Whether it’s dancing in your kitchen, or stretching between tasks, physical movement tells your body: line up!

4. Guard Your Energy

Not every conversation or social media debate deserves your time. Protect your energy by stepping back from negativity and surrounding yourself with people and spaces that uplift and inspire you.  This right here…………………………………….

5. Feed Your Spirit

This bears repeating. Spend time in prayer, meditation, or quiet reflection. Read uplifting books or listen to podcasts that strengthen your faith and sense of purpose. These moments anchor you in hope when the world feels uncertain.

6. Rest and Refill

You can’t pour from an empty cup. I don’t know how many times I have said this one!  Remember this. Naps are anointed.  Make  doing nothing for a few minutes a part of your day.   Peace begins when you give yourself permission to slow down and just be.  Sometimes non interrupted places to do this may be in your car, closet, meditation room, etc.  You know where the meditation room is……….

7. Create Something Beautiful

Let those creative juices flow.  Write something, paint, sing, or make something with your hands. Creating beauty reminds you that goodness still exists.

Final Thoughts

Uncertain times don’t have to steal your peace. When you care for your mind and body intentionally, you remind yourself that you are not powerless.

You can’t control the noise of the world, but you can choose calm within it. That’s where your true power lies.
