Every once and a while I will have a thought pop into my head, usually something that is going to cause harm to myself, then sure enough it happens.
For example, I was sitting at a stop light one day, thought to myself "Man, wouldn't it suck if this person behind me hit my car?" I looked in my rear view mirror, she was at a complete stop. Not even 10 seconds later she hit my car.
Another instance was when I was laying in bed with my son, I thought to myself "wouldn't it suck if he stabbed me in the eye with his sippy cup lid?" sure enough, less than 5 seconds later, he did. Same case a little over a year later "wouldn't it suck if he rolled over to give me a hug and bashed me in the nose with his sippy cup" he did. My list goes on and on, it almost always starts with a thought of "wouldn't it suck if..."
I usually do not have enough time to react to those thoughts before they happen, but is there a way to kind of develop that so maybe in the future I can potentially avoid being bashed in the face with a sippy cup or stubbing my toe in the middle of the night? Even find a way to differentiate between the real ones and the random thoughts(like thinking to myself, wouldn't it suck if my Dad died in a fiery airplane crash, then he turns out to be perfectly okay)?
