What if I said something wrong during that conversation? What if I flunked that test? What if they don't call me for the job interview? RELAX. You can never have a positive outcome if you're always looking at the worst case scenario. That applies to every situation and not just school. Be confident in the decisions you make. The results of your decisions are often not as bad as your mind makes them out to be.
The human mind is such an interesting thing- but also terrifying. If you let your mind linger too long about the decisions you make, whether they seem worthwhile or trivial, it will eventually escalate into fear and pessimism. I was researching this topic and found an article about what Dr. Phil had to say about it. He noted that to conquer fear, you must "start by not blowing the stakes of your decisions out of proportion." "Self-worth is not a matter of wins versus losses but is an inherent, God-given quality." So next time you start second-guessing the decisions you make in life, remember your first instinct is usually correct. Be assured that confidence in yourself is one of the most versatile tools you'll ever have as you make decisions throughout life. You will always succeed at failing in life if you fail at preparing your mind for success.
