Give Your Best Then Let It Go

Anticipating an outcome can make you feel happy and hopeful. Yet, holding onto and worrying about an outcome can damage your psyche, can cause you to lose sleep, and can create unnecessary stress. I will admit that, sometimes when I make a decision, I think about it, ruminate on it, and think about all of the possible outcomes…good or bad. When I think of what could go wrong, I am “catastrophising.” Thinking of every possible negative outcome does not lead to positive results.
