Worst case scenario generator

The worst case scenario generator – that would be you!

Well more specifically your brain.

You don’t speak up in the meeting because what if you say something stupid and then your boss hears and then your boss starts to scrutinise everything you do and realises you’re actually an idiot and then they fire you and then you can’t buy food because you have no money and then you die.

So by god do not speak up in that meeting because you could die from it.

It is nearly impossible to take courageous action when the worst case scenario generator is driving.

If you’d like to wrench the steering wheel away from this devious device then there is a way you could do it.

The worst case scenario generator only produces theories. It is not showing you the future, it is simply teasing out the least favourable future to scare you.

So act like a scientist and test these theories out.

Your worst case scenario generator thinks you will die if you speak up in that meeting?

Test it out!

If you do die, well then you’ve got bigger fish to fry but if you don’t you can show up the worst case scenario generator for what it really is – a big scaredy cat!
