The image is from the NY Project Hope web site and written in marker are the words Project Hopium! with a facepalm emoji. Text on image reads NY Project Hope Coping with COVID 5. Look at uncertainty from a different perspective… It’s been said that uncertainty can be an “emotional amplifier,” meaning that uncertainty amplifies the emotions of whatever you’re thinking about. For example, it can be unpleasant to be uncertain about whether you’re going catch COVID-19, but it’s pleasant to be uncertain about how the new food you’re trying will taste. Looking at uncertainty in the lense of unexpected joy can take away some of the fear. Leaning into uncertainty as you do when you’re going to a new place, reading a new book, eating new food, learning a new language, and traveling abroad can help you to be more open to uncertainty, and more creative. We don’t know how these experiences will turn out, but we are still willing to engage in them.
