One thing that has helped me calm my mind has been trying to also think of the best-case scenario. I did this a few times when some new experiences came my way and I would automatically imagine worse and worse outcomes, starting to feel paralized. I realized I was using my creativity and wild imagination to simply worry. So I'd write down all the bad outcomes that I imagined and then sit with that list to use it as inspiration of other outcomes that I could imagine. Basically I just let my imagination go wild again in the opposite direction and dream of all the wonderful possibilities out there. After finishing I realized I was feeling some level of calm, because now I didn't only have the bad possibilities in mind. Even better, I started realizing, looking at both list, that thoose were all extreme and exagerated scenarios, most probably none of those things would happen. The real experience would be somewhere in between the middle, there would be good and there would be bad, so I could expect both in a way that was less intense and more positive even. I don't think it's the best tool and I believe it doesn't work with everything, but it was a way of getting my imagination and creativity back on the friendly team of self growth. Lastly, I just wanted to thank you for sharing not only information but practical tools to deal with something that for me is the biggest element in my life conditioning my progress and possibilities for developing myself. I feel much more calm, hope and joy just by having found your work!!! ☺
I love what you did so much! That's such a great way to shift your perspective from the bad to the good, because it can often be so much easier to focus on the negative, when there is so much good (and in the middle!) that can happen. I'm so glad you've found my resources helpful, thanks so much! ❤
