Fortune Telling

Fortune Telling

Fortune telling is predicting the future negatively and believing that prediction as if it were already fact.

Details

Fortune telling is when we predict something that hasn't happened yet in a negative way, and feel absolutely certain that it will turn out badly.

No one can truly know the future, yet our minds sometimes act like a fortune teller — turning feared outcomes into 'guaranteed facts.'

Try telling yourself: 'This hasn't happened yet. Things could turn out well.' The future is still open — and Mindy is here to help you explore that possibility.

💡 Real-Life Example

'Before a job interview, feeling completely certain: "I'm going to fail anyway."' — That's fortune telling.
