BLUFF

Card players often engage in a process of bluff. They don't want their facial expressions to tell the other players something about the cards that they may secretly be holding. It is not just in gambling dens that we see such behaviour. Many of us have learned, often at a surprisingly early age, that we do better in negotiations when others find us 'hard to read'. With this in mind, perhaps we should ask how accurately you are now assessing a particular situation? Don't assume that you know exactly what someone else is thinking. 
Adventurous individuals, often say that there is, 'No such thing as a near miss.' You are either in the most terrible trouble or you are not! And if you are standing on a precipice, looking into an endless chasm? Well, where are your feet? Unless they are above your head as you hurtle hopelessly, they must be on terra firma. If you actually were in such dire straits, there would not even be time to feel anxious or apprehensive. Don't be distracted  by what could have been. Just allow yourself to be glad of what is, be kind to others.Kindness is a reward-happiness!
Do jazz musicians just make things up as they go along? Well, that's a bit like asking whether great abstract artists simply throw paint at the canvas. It's not quite so simple. Much the same can be said about the way in which you  respond to deep emotional impulses. You take your feelings seriously, even when others can't understand what has caused you to feel a certain way and you can't even explain it yourself. But you are drawing on experience that entitles you to work intuitively. Allow yourself to be spontaneous.
