Uncertainty

I used to get this a lot and would trigger my "planning for different responses" habit in order to be prepared for what may happen.

This eneded up consuming so much of my mental energy and quite a bit of time 99.9% of the time that I eventually learned mindfulness as a way to shutting down the catastrophisng process.

It takes a lot of work to apply consistently but lets you focus on things when you need to and saves bucket loads of energy.
