What to Do When You Can't Stop Thinking About The Worst Case Scenario
As I sit here on a plane, I’m thinking about this next video and worse case scenarios. Some of you might be already wondering where I’m going with this...is she really going to be talking about worse case scenarios while on a plane?
But the reality is, I’ve never had a fear of flying. Im not concerned that me talking about fears and flying will trigger me or magically make what I’m talking about happen. Why? Because I’m just not invested in fear related to this topic at all.
I’m using this as an example because there have been and still are times I get triggered with fear and my mind starts playing out worst case scenarios.
But I use this example because it shows how malleable the mind is, how fears are based on the unique experiences we have, and that if someone has minimal or no fear in a situation than its possible for someone else to get to that point too!
After reducing fear, It doesn’t mean fear won’t come up or a thought won’t come up, it just won’t be super intense and will be much more easier to center.
In this video I discuss two reasons why we are programmed to think about Worst case scenarios.
The most important piece is knowing that worst car scenario thinking comes from an emotion that naturally wants to communicate it. Our chemicals and molecules are doing the fear dance like mad!
Watch this video and let me know what you think in the comments.

Do you have any situations where you tend to think about the worse case scenario?
Are you open to believing that the worst case outcome is highly likely to not be true?
Are you able to reassure the part that is fearful that no matter what you will be there for her?
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences!
I'm here for you!

Have you ever experienced dread about an appointment, an event, a series of situations that are in your future? The video of this week addresses this topic.
Dread is a feeling that has come up for me over and over again for many years. Not wanting to show up (but doing so anyways) has been a theme in my life.
Dread is a funny thing. It is very much connected to anxiety.
I didn’t recognize how related to anxiety it was until I started unblending this part of my self and understanding that the dread was actual fear and hopelessness compounded.
A fear of not moving forward and staying stuck, a fear of having to do things and be something for people (ie expecting the burden of caretaking and parenting someone) a fear of my current circumstances as evidence for what was my reality and so forth.
As I began to understand that these beliefs and fears were not about my present day Life, but about the experiences and perspectives I learned as a little girl feeling stuck in childhood circumstances I couldn’t change, I was able to take in more of what I actually liked in my life and also pay attention to my dreams more.
We don’t have access to our dreams fully until we clear out what fears we have carried in from our past might be blocking them.
This video discusses two tips to help you come into the moment and release dread, often helpful after validating the dread in the first place as a part developed from your past.
This doesn’t mean you had to have experiences like I did or a dysfunctional upbringing. Stuck emotions can develop from all sorts of experiences at school, developmentally, in college, in jobs or from well meaning parents.
What’s most important is the EXPERIENCE of that part of yourself that developed a belief in dread.
Once that part feels understood, you can practice the tips in the video to gently acknowledge that yes, there is hope for the future, create an action step to provide proof for yourself and also bring your attention into the moment.
Dread, worry and fear can’t exist if we are truly in the moment!
I hope you enjoy this video!
