Reflect, Avoid Avoidance and see the possibilities.

Remember that you’ve faced uncertainty before.The fact that you stand here now is proof that you are strong enough to make it through. Take time to think and reflect on what helped you before. Write it down—and then read it when your worrisome thoughts start to take hold.

A little uncertainty can be healthy.When this response makes us too anxious, however, it can have the opposite effect and be paralyzing. If you know that you tend to avoid dealing with the future, remind yourself that although dealing with uncertainty is hard, there are consequences for not facing it head on.

A blank slate ahead means that there’s nothing written on it yet. And while that may appear daunting, think of it this way: You are standing on the threshold of possibility.

Answer: Let Go. The first step to dealing with uncertainty is to accept that we can't control everything. Envision the Best. We often try to spare ourselves disappointment by thinking through how things could go wrong. Reflect. Avoid Avoidance. See the Possibility.
