When your voice says:

“One slip and it’s a catastrophe.”

“Something went wrong, so everything is ruined.”

Coach Lynn says:

This is catastrophizing. A stumble or mistake may have real consequences, but that doesn't make it an all-out disaster.

Then you say:

Here’s what I need to do:

- Settle my body by taking one or more [Composure Breaths](https://www.dailycomposure.com/what-is-a-composure-breath/).
- Focus on the most likely outcome instead of fixating only on the worst-case scenario.
- Pinpoint one actionable repair step within my direct control.
- Execute that step before declaring the entire situation lost.

Coach Lynn says:

A mistake requires a simple repair, not a life sentence. Taking the next constructive step steadies your mind, safeguards what matters, and keeps you moving forward with composure.
