Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the lord my soul to keep.
If I die before I wake,
I pray the lord my soul to take.

I used to be so scared to fall asleep at night I had to repeat this to become okay with death and accept the worst case scenario as an inevitability. It was based on trauma and I have used the same method to cope with fear for my entire life.

I have to consider and accept the absolute worst case then I can begin to narrow down things like how likely it is to happen and be at peace with whatever might happen.

This is actually a useful skill to remain completely calm under pressure and focus on a plan of action when others are panicking.

Anyway good night.
