Hook

Have you ever lay awake at two o’clock in the morning, staring at the ceiling, utterly convinced that a minor mistake you made at work is going to get you fired? Or perhaps you heard a tiny, unfamiliar rattle in your car’s engine and immediately started calculating the cost of a brand-new transmission?

Our minds are absolute masters at spinning worst-case scenarios. When faced with a tiny gap of missing information, we do not usually fill it with happy thoughts. Instead, we tend to paint a vivid, terrifying picture of disaster. We live in a world of constant "what-ifs," where a single seed of doubt can quickly grow into a giant forest of anxiety. If you have ever felt completely overwhelmed by uncertainty, please know that you are in excellent company.
