Dr. Joe Casciani explains how "borrowing trouble"—expecting the worst when facing uncertainty—actually makes life worse and prevents good planning. A more open mindset that considers multiple outcomes, not just negative ones, improves both today and tomorrow.
Hi, I'm Dr. Joe Casciani. Here's a quick tip on how to stop borrowing trouble from the future. There's a saying, "What we think about, we bring about." When we say, "I can't predict the future, but I might as well expect the worst," we are saying, "I don't know what's coming, but I won't be disappointed if bad things do happen." This way of coping with problems, as soothing as it may be, actually reduces our quality of life and interferes with planning our tomorrows. So embrace the belief that things can turn out in any number of ways. I hope this helps.
