Anticipation can be a good or bad thing. When we are counting down the days to an exciting event – a holiday, a conference, a competition, it can be filled with positive visualisations and thoroughly enjoyed. It can also be a drain on your resources if you anticipation is tinted with worry or anxiety – the Sunday night before working in a job that you don’t love, an upcoming exam, a difficult conversation that you should have with a loved one. The best way to beat this? Imagine the best possible outcome and tell yourself that there is no reason for this not to be possible; it’s true and may help to allay some of the worry that you feel.
