If thinking about what could be has no bearing on what will be then it’s best to think about something else.
When you send an email to book a show, get an endorsement, work with that out-of-reach person, etc and then dwell on what the response is going to be…It’s our brains searching for control in a completely uncontrollable situation.
It’s easy to think that scripting the future response in your brain will have bearing on what the actual response will be.
It doesn’t. And you know that. But you still get lulled into thinking otherwise.
You did good work by sending the thoughtful, genuine email, and then got distracted by a make believe story…
…let it go.
Get back to work.
p.s. If thinking about what could be DOES have bearing on what will be, think away. But be careful that thinking about what could be doesn’t keep you too long from doing what you need to do right now.
