There’s a good chance that, at some point in your life, you’ve had a sudden thought that has run away with itself.

This is often known as “catastrophising”, a thinking pattern where your mind imagines the worst possible outcome, even when it is unlikely or unsupported by evidence.

When catastrophising becomes a habit, it can quickly leave you feeling constantly on edge, and you may spend more time preparing for disasters rather than responding to what’s actually happening.

To discover how you can break the habit and start thinking more positively, click the link below.
