- see meditation ~611?
- it’s what you believe about what you feel
- prescription pickup experience “It will be okay.”
- advice more than prediction, but both.
- advice to believe this myself. that, despite the fact that my psichiatriast is on vacation for 2 weeks with limited access to the internet, somehow I will get the Rx filled
- sure enough, minutes later I get the automated message from the pharmacy (notoriously flakey, requiring multiple visits and/or calls to prod them along) that the prescription is filled and ready for pickup
- no problems
- you can endlessly try to spin all the parts of the world to work in your favor, or you can simply create what you want directly. cheat, in other words
- it would have been A LOT more work to worry, have her not answer, then go through the emergency backup person, fight my pharmacy to accept the prescription or give me a temporary fill (which they aren’t supposed to)
- see also: the “anxiety or excitement” reframe trick
- this is that, except way grander. just do the same thing for everything
