Psychologists suggest thinking of 'tolerance of uncertainty' as a muscle. The more you exercise it by practicing introducing small amounts of uncertainty into your everyday life, the more your tolerance for uncertainty in your life increases. We are all dealing with a lot of uncertainty with the Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak. Please stay safe, STAY HOME and take care of your mental health, too.
