THE JOY OF EMBRACING THE WORST-CASE SCENARIO... <3
On Sunday night, I got banned from facebook groups for 24 hours due to sharing my memes into too many groups.
When the ban was lifted, I found myself feeling really scared... 😰
What IS the limit of how much I can post in groups?
What behaviour would lead to the next level of a 3-day ban?
.
I could live my whole life worrying about this happening again...
Envisioning the worst-case scenario... of receiving that notification that I had been banned forever...
But that is no way to live.
We must ALWAYS find a way to NOT live in fear. <3
.
I realized that I MUST accept the worst-case scenario... that one day I might be banned all together...
I then had a surprising thought...
Maybe this would lead to an even better life... where I wouldn't have to spend so much time online? 😂
There are always positives to all worst-case scenarios...
They are never as bad as they seem...
They eventually lead to NEW sources of happiness, or connection... or whatever it is that we need.
We have what is called a 'Psychological Immune System' that strives to make us happy again no matter what...
So, the best thing we can do is to full-heartedly EMBRACE the worst-case scenario...
So that we can truly live our lives TODAY. <3
.
So here I am with you on Facebook...
Living my life with no fear...
And if this worst-case scenario were to happen...
That's okay... That new future might even be better than today...
But right now, I'm going to enjoy this moment we currently share... <3
.
To the JOY of embracing the worst-case scenario...
