The feeling of uncertainty is something we all might experience. There are many techniques to tackle this negative feeling. When we master uncertainty, we can expand our mental capabilities and have the energy to fully commit to new ideas and actions, hence increasing our entrepreneurial capacities.
The secret to overcome uncertainty is the growth mindset and a bit of willingness to take risks. One technique you can use is Attentional Training (AT), which builds creativity and psychological power. AT is linked to strengthening focus and attention, which can help you in both your personal and professional life. 
Think of your mind as a muscle to be trained. Of course, you need routine and discipline for this. Train it for one week and reflect on the positive changes. Select one or more activities that best fit you from this list:
1.	Create a distraction to- do list
2.	Meditate
3.	Practice mindfulness throughout the day
4.	Exercise your body
5.	Memorize stuff
6.	Read out loud
7.	Stay curious
8.	Practice attentive listening
9.	Perform concentration exercises
