Question for All of You

Yes, but over time we learn that magic thinking just dont work out, almost every one of us have done it
some shake it off quick, other takes longer, but Mama you will get past this, the odd's are in the millions.

i tend to stay away from the news. they are big scare mongers. love to sensationalize. i don't read the newspapers either.

This is a sorta problem for me. When I hear someone has something I tend to instantly think of myself and do a full body scan for symptoms, but most of the time I let it go pretty quickly. That doesn't mean I ALWAYS let it go pretty quickly....but most of the time.

Exactly...

...along the same lines as Daesin's post....

If you heard or read about someone winning the lottery, would you quit your job and buy a yaht?

Of course not! We only tend to 'take on' the negative, scary things that we hear about...

...but we've as much chance of contracting something simply from reading about it, as we do of winning the powerball! ;p

Always seeking to flip the negative thinking around is a great goal...if we can counter those worries with postivie thinking, we greatly reduce our anxiety!

Hi

Yes I have had this problem in the past so try my best not to look any of my symptoms up as I tend to convince myself that I have those symptoms the mind is a powerful tool.
