Worry Wart

My mum explained, as she already had, many, many times in those weeks, that nobody knows anything for certain, but this time she also gave me a rubber band.

"There's no sense in worrying about something you can't control. So everytime you start to think about it, just give yourself a little snap, a little punishment to stop yourself."

- Stefan Merrill Block in The Story of Forgetting

Not a bad idea to tie a rubber band around the hand and snap myself when negative thoughts seep in.
