Radical Acceptance[1] combined with what I call Constructive Catastrophizing. Catastrophizing is essentially thinking up worse and worse possible consequences of all sorts of events, choices, etc. Very common in depression cases, it tends to mean that the sufferer will think of the worst possible outcome of anything that could happen. Constructive Catastrophizing is taking a natural tendency to catastrophize and continuing it: what's the actual worst that could happen? Would I die? If I die, in the grand scheme of the Earth, is it really that bad? Almost certainly not, the Earth is a 10^21 tonne ball of iron. So it probably doesn't matter that much. And I probably won't die from <insert normal everyday thing>. Etc.
