Hi all
I could use some tips to stop the train of thought.
If I hear something I fear on the news, it takes me no more than two seconds to become convinced that if happened to someone else it is likely to happen to me. It's like my rational mind becomes convinced that my fear is rational. You know what I mean... When I hit that delicate balance and the fear seems rational to me, it is difficult to REALLY convince myself that I am not right. Statistics and all sorts of scientific arguments don't seem to hit home with me, because that bad thing did in fact happen to someone else. That one in a million.
What works for you when you're battling your own rational mind?
