Ask Dali Mama

DEAR DALI MAMA:

I am a bit of a worrier and can get paranoid. I build and draw up worst-case scenarios in my head and over time they start to feel real. Then I live in partial dread of a future I don’t want.

Any advice you could please give?

DEAR I.M.H.:

This is something that happens to the best of us. Haha.

The facts that the worst-case scenarios start to feel real is indicative that you’re probably a very creative person. How about you use your awesome creative powers to draw up best-case scenarios over and over until they start to feel real and see what happens.

Much love.
