Adjusting to Fortune Telling | Stop Predicting Disaster & Start Living in the Present
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ever convinced yourself you're going to fail before you've even tried? Predict every conversation will be a disaster? Decide the relationship is doomed before it's even had a chance? You're not psychic—you're fortune telling, and it's a cognitive distortion that's keeping you stuck in imaginary futures that don't exist yet.
In this episode, we're breaking down the pattern of fortune telling: why your brain only predicts bad things, how it shows up in relationships, creative work, career decisions, and daily life, and what to do when you're living in constant dread of outcomes that haven't happened.
We'll cover:
- What fortune telling actually is and why it's so destructive
- How it manifests in auditions, job interviews, relationships, and everyday situations
- Why we do this (spoiler: it's often rooted in past trauma and the illusion of control)
- How to catch yourself mid-prediction and reality-test your thoughts
- Practical tools to stay in the present instead of spiraling about imagined disasters
- How to build tolerance for uncertainty and stop writing tragedy scripts for your own life
If you're tired of robbing yourself of opportunities because you've already decided they won't work out, this episode is for you. Let's stop predicting the future and start showing up for what's actually happening.
