I went back to work Wednesday to Friday.
It was so quiet, I had to manage my negative
imaginings of my supervisor's comments.....
As it turned out, she was in a good mood
and did not say too much about what she wanted
done or what was not done right etc.... 
That takes me to one of my biggest hurdles to
living the peaceful, happy life which is my goal to live.
My attacks of anxiety and fearful imaginings-- my own
mind is robbing my of potential peaceful, neutral and
happy now moments!!! 
Antidotes to expecting the worst --- filling my mind with
positive imaginings and expecting the best of everything,
at all times. 
Positive Affirmations.
The following is what I will be filling my mind with as much as possible:
Cast aside all Doubt
Cast aside all doubt, O Soul of mine
and be unafraid, for Thy power
is from On High
He who sitteth in the heavens
shall be Thy champion; Thou need
not fear, Come forth O Spirit, from
within and express Thyself through
me and let not my doubts hinder Thy
approach. My faith shall go forth to
meet Thee, and my confidence shall
embrace Thee.
My waiting thought shall bid Thee
welcome to my house of Love,
and Joy shall accompany us through
the ages yet to come.
I LAY ASIDE ALL FEAR AND DOUBT.
---Ernest Holmes

Oh Oh and if that mantra doesn\'t do the trick, here\'s a MUZZLE for that lil voice of self doubt...**wink , smile, and a giggle**
Think it is called Catastrophizing - I do it rather a lot but have learnt to recognise it and tell myself firmly to STOP IT! Seems to work quite well x
