Who wouldn\u2019t feel it right now? It\u2019s coming from all around us. Living with COVID-19; these terrifying, out-of-control wildfires; protesting the systematization of white supremacy and calling for justice for all people; and an erratic Presidential election \u2013 all call us to live with uncertainty in unprecedented ways. Some days it feels to me like waves of anxiety accompanying constant news breaks and polarization are flowing at me from every screen I see \u2013 my TV, my phone, and my computer.<\/p>\n

We have never really known the future, but pre-2020 we were more able to function as though we did! Many religious and many philosophical systems grapple with this. Agnosticism is based upon the acknowledgement of \u201cnot knowing\u201d fully; Buddhism on a premise of the truth of the \u201cimpermanence\u201d of our lives and possessions; Christianity on having faith, the hope of things yet unseen.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re experiencing anxiety in the face of uncertainty \u2013 it\u2019s real! So take time to grapple with how you are coping with \u201cnot knowing.\u201d Go easy on yourself, and allow yourself some space. I invited The Chaplains and staff at the Fish Interfaith Center last week to share key practices that are keeping them grounded right now. I expected primarily to hear about meditation, prayer, walking, connecting with loved ones, or disengaging with news when one\u2019s bandwidth for it is full. Yes, these were secondary, but here were the top two:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Read the prophets and change-makers.<\/strong> Read about prophetic voices and activists and peacemakers throughout the ages \u2013 and pay attention to what they were up against. Gain strength for this time from their example. Reverend Dr. William Barber, Co-Director of the Poor People\u2019s Campaign<\/a>, reminded us in his live virtual talk to Chapman University, The Significance of Race in America<\/a>, that \u201cin moments of deepest pain is when people rebuild.\u201d He ended his speech with a challenge to us:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Harriet Tubman didn\u2019t have Twitter, she didn\u2019t have Instagram, she didn\u2019t have email, she didn\u2019t have Zoom, she didn\u2019t have Skype, she didn\u2019t have a car, \u2026 and she and white Quakers and some white evangelicals of the 1800\u2019s got 700 people out of slavery. There\u2019s no way in the world we can let them do more with less and we not do more with more.<\/em><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Make a difference<\/strong>. If you are concerned about how the election or current laws or the COVID-19 crisis will affect a particular population, do what you can to help now. Whether volunteering in person, financially, or through Zoom or writing or texts or phone calls. Making a difference right now in someone\u2019s life helps bring meaning to this time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Uncertainty has always been present \u2013 but right now it\u2019s just plain unavoidable. We will get through this.<\/p>\n

      Below are dozens more really helpful tips<\/em><\/strong> to deal with anxiety, strengthen your resilience, and be your better self, right now. During election week, Student Psychological Counseling Services will be holding additional virtual drop-in hours, and the Fish Interfaith Center will expand Listening Windows<\/a> for you to chat with one of our staff. We will also hold a time to gather for those disappointed with the Presidential election the day after the election is called \u2013 watch our webpage<\/a>. And here are great tips to both care for yourself and get involved:<\/p>\n
