It all started with an absolute disaster in the kitchen. My toast was ruined, my coffee spilled all over, and I tripped over the shoes resulting in a nasty scrape. I was already running behind schedule for work, so this was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Then, at work, my printer jammed, and I had to put in extra hours. To top it all off, I forgot my wallet on the way home.
- I just wanted to curl up in bed
- Maybe tomorrow will be better
The Worst Possible Outcome
We've all been there - imagining a trip/adventure/project, and then suddenly that optimistic/carefree/lighthearted feeling takes a sharp/sudden/nasty turn. It's the moment we picture our plans crumbling/falling apart/going haywire before our very eyes/ears/noses. That's when the dreaded "worst case scenario" looms over us like a dark cloud. It can be something that keeps us up at night, but understanding these potential pitfalls/downfalls/disasters can help us mitigate their impact.
First, we need to pinpoint the potential dangers. What could be a major problem? Write down all your concerns/fears/worries, no matter how outlandish/absurd/unlikely they seem. After that we can start to develop strategies for each one.
Ten Things That Suck
Ugh, life throws some real bummers our way sometimes. It's enough to make you want to scream into the void. But hey, we gotta laugh it off, right? Here are ten things that just plain suck:

Most Terrible Decisions of My Life
Looking back, there are a few decisions I made that make me cringe. Like the time I decided/opted/went with that terrible/awful/dreadful haircut – it was like something straight out of a horror movie/the dark ages/an 80s sitcom. Or when I spent/waved goodbye to/threw away all my money on a useless gadget/that trendy new thing everyone was raving about/some dubious investment. It wasn't only those big choices, though. Sometimes the smaller/everyday/seemingly insignificant here decisions can add up to a catastrophe/to regret/to a whole lot of trouble. Like choosing to eat/ordering/consuming that questionable pizza/curry/sandwich – I'll never forget the disastrous/painful/gut-wrenching consequences.
