Feeling frozen in place by the rapidly changing global landscape? You're not alone.

President Donald Trump's policies — headlined by an aggressive approach to tariffs — have left Americans unsure what to do or how to react.

Stocks tumbled and recession alarm bells started ringing after Trump's announcements. While he has since backtracked on some of his boldest plans, and the economy has stayed surprisingly resilient, the situation remains fluid. That means no one — not CEOs, Wall Street strategists, or everyday people — knows what's coming next.

As part of a series, Business Insider has tackled how to make big life decisions during a time of massive change.
