We ruminate on the worst possible outcome and scare ourselves with catastrophic thinking patterns.

We develop habits of entertaining worse-case scenarios that can become stronger unless we interrupt it.

We don't think ahead to best case scenarios. Our primitive brain focuses on the negative, worse-case.

Our natural survival mechanism has us focus on possible danger.
