When my thoughts would spin out of control making me crazy with all kinds of scary scenarios, my good friend would lecture me "Better go out and get the copyright attorneys,'cause you're writing a novel." A nice way of telling me to shut down the thought factory. ( We used to attend Zen meditation sessions together).
He also quoted his sophisticated and elegant mother, "Most of the things you worry about don't happen."
Put the thinking on hold until you have some grist for the mill. 🤜🤛
