Don't let anxious thoughts get on top ?
Why can't opposing thoughts be on top ?
Fight back with reason and reality or even humour !
Make it a habit.

If there was a higher power why would it bother with something as insignificant as creating a rd accident in a world of 7 billion people. Surely there's something more important going on somewhere.
Sorry but truth is we can all feel sometimes like the world revolves around us but it doesn't. We're all insignificant and life is as simple for us as it is for the cat walking down the garden wall.
We eat, sleep, poo and have certain reward systems for things that aid our survival and get us to reproduce and ensure the survival of the species.
We need food, we need sleep and we need people, because that's what we are.
Always remember that when things get a bit complicated.
Humans are guilty of thinking too much.
Stick with reason and the facts of life and you'll know yourself a lot more.
It's important to have those thoughts that keep you grounded when our imaginations scare us.
