On Friday I had a Cat Scan and thinking it was like an MRI I was filled with anxiety.I in jest told the radiologist “please give me enough drugs so that when the test is over the DEA will arrest me.”Well to my surprise it was nothing like an MRI, and lasted only seven minutes.My day of worry and expecting the worst was in fact a waste of time and energy. This is true of so many things and situations that occupy our thoughts and fears. In my case they are usually not as bad as they seem ,and almost always there are constructive ways to deal with them when they actually occur.

I hope that whatever you and I are dreading today will be similar to my experience with the Cat Scan.
