How to Let Go of Fear in Times of Uncertainty Nurturing a positive mindset can help you perform your best even when the world is upside down.

Any time unexpected challenges arise or tragedy strikes, it is normal to feel shock, fear, anger, denial, depression and other negative emotions. In normal times, this can be triggered by the death of a loved one, a job loss, or an unexpected health diagnosis.

But when multiple drastic changes happen concurrently or in rapid sequence, especially at a global level, it can be even more challenging to keep your head on straight. You might even feel paralyzed by uncertainty and unable to make decisions. The mental and emotional stress can take a hefty toll on your physical and mental health and overall performance.

Follow these steps to break free from fear and so you can make smart decisions and perform at your best, no matter what is happening in the world.
