The "act as if" mind set sets up to react to the best case scenario. It is counter intuitive, but when we do this, we feel better, we create a more positive influence for a good outcome. if things don't work out as if, we are still standing in a better place.
On the other hand when we go into a situation acting as if the worst will happen, we help create the worse case scenario in many cases.
As Phoebe says it is easier said than done, because many of our emotional protections from years of disappointments, wants us to protect ourselves by being prepared for a not so good outcome. Unfortunately that is when self fulfilling prophecies can take place.
