UNLEASHED (at work & home) with Colleen Pelar

Working through Worries to Make a Decision

Listen Later

The Worst-Case/Best-Case/Mostly Likely Framework is a way of facing and addressing worries.

Your brain is wired to notice everything that could potentially go wrong. Often this can lead to crippling indecision, high anxiety, and catastrophic thinking. It leaves you feeling stuck.

This tool helps you

  • Recognize the extreme unlikelihood of your worst-case scenario fears by providing an equally extreme counterpoint in the opposite direction.
  • Become more aware of the negativity bias so that you are better able to make real-time adjustments in your thinking
  • Use humor and positivity to create a broader, more creative thinking
  • More accurately assess the outcomes of possible your choices so you can make decisions based on logic, not anxiety

    • A big thank you to Alicia Obando of Pitter Patter Parenting in Chicago for helping me demonstrate this tool.
