The pros and cons of thinking the worst

nOf course, being able to imagine things going wrong is quite a useful talent. It means that you can make contingency plans, and adapt to different situations. This enables you to problem solve difficulties even before they happen, so that you are prepared to deal with them if they do arrive. Very useful. If you could just stop there, there wouldn’t be any problem.nnThe trouble is, the human imagination is quite a powerhouse of creative fantasy, and it can run away with itself.

It means that you can make contingency plans, and adapt to different situations. This enables you to problem solve difficulties even before they happen, so that you are prepared to deal with them if they do arrive. Very useful. If you could just stop there, there wouldn’t be any problem.nnThe trouble is, the human imagination is quite a powerhouse of creative fantasy, and it can run away with itself. Instead of just laying out alternative possibilities for you to consider, it makes a great theatrical drama out of it. Pictures! Sounds! Emotions! Before you know it, you are drawn into the drama and feeling as if it is all happening right here, right now. And your body responds, quite appropriately, with fear and anxiety.nnThis makes for a stressful life and tends to give you a negative outlook. If someone doesn’t answer their phone when you call, you immediately conclude that they’ve decided to end your friendship. If your boss is a bit abrupt you start worrying you are about to be fired. If someone is five minutes late you start wondering if they’ve been run over.nnAnd instead of being a flexible problem solver, you become fatalistic. If it’s all going to end in disaster, what’s the point of trying to do anything?n
