Strategies to increase tolerance for uncertainty:

• 'control the controllables'
• start thinking about alternative plans for daily living, training
• identify, review, and celebrate your effective coping strategies

Taking care of yourself:

• take a break and limit exposure to COVID-19 information
• acknowledge and accept your feelings and emotions
• remember and practice tried and true stress reduction strategies:
  • adequate sleep
  • regular exercise
  • mindfullness practice
  • spend time in nature
  • employ relaxation techniques
• make time to explore other interests and activities
• express your experiences, thoughts, and feelings

Opportunity to build resilience:

• seeing resiliency as something that can be preventative / proactive
• learning from exposure to new situations & realities, personal reactions and recovery
• learning how to improvise, adapt, flex, and empower can serve us in the future
• finding new perspectives, and reframing the challenges into opportunities

"Success comes amid chaos as much as it comes through planning and preparation...The global reaction to COVID-19 will be requiring changes from all of us.  Roll with it, talk to your team, anticipate possible situations, and change as needed."  
Marnie McBean, Team Canada Tokyo 2020 Chef de Mission
