Separate what you know from what you merely fear.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

What you know and what you are afraid of get stored together, and the mixture feels entirely like knowledge. That is how a possible outcome becomes a certain one in your mind, and how you end up planning around events that have not happened. Pulling the two apart usually reveals a much smaller factual situation than the feeling suggested.
