That makes your skin look old and wrinkly and dry. Courtney Sobiesky asks why we sometimes re scare ourselves if our minds wander. Part of it is that we like to dress rehearse tragedy because there's a portion of our disfunctional mind that thinks that if we just practise enough, we will be prepared for something.
