    This document discusses cognitive distortions related to predicting negative outcomes. It notes that predicting the future often involves assuming the worst outcome in a situation as an automatic thought, such as worrying that a minor mistake will cause one to get fired. The worksheets aim to help the reader identify a situation where they assumed the worst, examine whether the outcome matched their prediction, develop a more positive self-reminder for next time, and identify how to react differently to similar situations in the future.
