Mental Fitness Unscripted S2E6 The Pre-Mortem Defeats Anxiety

Do you ever create "what if" scenarios that get your mind spinning into fear and anxiety? I found myself doing this over a mountain bike race. None of my scary, negative scenarios happened. Instead, it was an incredible experience. Everyone wrestles with life's "what ifs," so what can we do about them to keep the fear and anxiety at bay? One solution is the pre-mortem. Thinking through the what-ifs to create a plan for how you will handle them, what you will do, who can help you, etc. will help to alleviate the anxiety. It's like a pre-flight checklist that can help us regain some of the control over the situation. We are essentially making advance decisions in a pre-mortem, which is also key to breaking bad habits. Then we are freed to consider the best possible outcomes for the what-ifs and rest in the confidence our positive thinking gives us.
