It all started with an absolute disaster in the kitchen. My cereal was ruined, my coffee spilled onto the floor, and I stumbled over the shoes leading to a painful bruise. I was already running late for work, so this was just the final nail in the coffin. Then, at work, my presentation froze, and I had to work overtime. To top it all off, I missed the bus on the way home.

It can be a paralyzing fear, but understanding these potential pitfalls/downfalls/disasters can help us avoid them altogether.

First, we need to identify the potential dangers. What could happen unexpectedly? Brain dump all your concerns/fears/worries, no matter how outlandish/absurd/unlikely they seem. After that we can start to develop strategies for each one.

Looking back, there are a few decisions I made that make me cringe.

Or when I spent/waved goodbye to/threw away all my money on a useless gadget/that trendy new thing everyone was raving about/some dubious investment. It wasn't merely those big choices, though. Sometimes the smaller/everyday/seemingly insignificant decisions can add up to a catastrophe/to regret/to a whole lot of trouble. Like choosing to eat/ordering/consuming that questionable pizza/curry/sandwich – I'll never forget the disastrous/painful/gut-wrenching consequences.
