When feeling anxious, it’s often because you’re fixated on just one possibility. For instance, if you obsess over needing it to rain, you might worry about what will happen if it doesn’t. On the other hand, if you insist it mustn’t rain, you might stress about what you’ll do if it does.

Instead of clinging to a single outcome, try thinking of solutions that work either way. For example, if it rains, focus on the benefits of the rain. If it doesn’t, find reasons to appreciate the dry weather. By shifting your perspective this way, you’ll likely find your anxiety dissolving.
