Preparation

[Ruthanne]

I have noticed that preparing myself for different situations or finding good solutions really helps ease my uneasiness about things.

I have been finding feasible solutions for different predicaments I find myself in lately and it is helping me to function confidently.

That's a good idea to think on. It's also good to think of all possible solutions and just how feasible they are and have back up plans like Plan B, too.

If given the choice of a half empty or a half full glass of wine, go for the half full glass, it tastes better too.....

I've lived by "Murphys Law" for decades...."if something can go wrong, it probably will". By doing so, I usually visualize what might happen, and how I should handle it, if it does. That usually results in far less stress, and has me prepared to react in a positive manner without going into "panic mode".

Good for you!

Ruthanne, good for you.
I had an old Chief Petty Officer who was fond of saying: "Proper planning prevents p.ss poor performance."
And, yes thinking about something ahead of time does eliminate lots of stress. In my case I always feel like a fool when I didn't see something coming that should have been perfectly obvious. It is a bit humbling to me, but it probably helps keep me from thinking that I am smarter than I actually am.

Yes planning and preparing prevents a lot of worrying.
