Managing Anxiety with Premeditation and Emotional Vaccination
The strategy of premeditatio molarum, or premeditation of evils, involves contemplating worst-case scenarios and preparing backup plans in advance to emotionally vaccinate oneself against potential stress. This approach allows individuals to acknowledge uncertainty, but also recognize their coping ability, effectively prewiring themselves to better handle challenging situations when they arise. By focusing on emotional vaccination and acknowledging their ability to cope, individuals can better manage anxiety and stress when faced with uncertain or difficult circumstances.
