Uncertainty about the future can trigger anxiety because the mind seeks control and predictability. When outcomes are unclear, worries may increase and emotional stability may feel threatened. Focusing on the present moment and what you can control helps reduce emotional stress. Maintaining routines and setting small, achievable goals provides a sense of direction. Practicing mindfulness and grounding techniques can calm anxious thoughts. If fear of the future becomes overwhelming, therapy can help build tolerance for uncertainty and strengthen emotional resilience.
