With recent headlines about the state of the economy and the stock market, it is no wonder that money can feel stressful these days. So here are a few pointers the next time you're feeling some money anxiety that can hopefully help you focus on what you can control. First, reflect on some times that maybe you've made it through times of uncertainty. It can feel really scary, but reminding yourself that you do have the strength to get through this can help to navigate and move through. The second thing is focus on what you can control. No, we can't control the stock market and the economy on our own, but we can focus on our own behaviors by maybe increasing our savings a little bit or even just opening a savings account. And then finally take care of yourself. It's important to stay informed. Yes, but with the scary headlines, maybe mix in a few fun cat videos or go outside and take a walk in nature and just remember that this too will pass. We can get through this together. We can weather this storm by remembering to control what you can control.
