Re: How do you be more positive?

I'll second the humor/absurdity thing. Sometimes my thoughts start spiraling in a negative direction and I'll keep thinking about the terrible things that are going to happen, and I'll get to a point where I deliberately push it to be as absurd as possible and I have to laugh at how ridiculous it sounds. Then I can get back to a more realistic place.

I also spend a lot of time asking myself what the worst thing is that could happen. I don't know how well it works for other people but for me the worst always turns out to not seem that bad once I stop thinking about these amorphous bad things that could happen and put a name to the possibilities. I start thinking about back-up plans in case that worst thing actually happens and it ends up feeling like something I can handle after all.

Another thing that sounds a bit counterintuitive is that I have embraced failure as an option. Failure is one of those things that I used to constantly worry about, but now I look at it as just one of the many possibilities and it's lost its ability to terrify me. So if there's an assignment at school I'm worrying about, it'll go like this: "I'm never going to get this done in time and even if I do it's gonna suck. ...So what if I just don't do it? How many points is it worth again? I can live with losing that. But I'd rather get it done if I can. So I'll work on it for a while and see how it goes and if the stress gets to be too much then that's okay." And then I'm in a much better mood and I end up doing better than if I had really doubled down on the "I must not fail!"

the failure thing could work, thanks! i get so terrified avoiding making even the littlest mistake... but maybe making mistakes isn't that bad isn't that bad in the first place?
