A few weeks ago, I was listening to a video on Youtube. I wish I remembered anything else about that video other than the quote that stayed with me. I listen to a lot of Youtube videos on a lot of things so I have no idea where it came from and deeply apologize to the woman (it was definitely a woman!) who said it.
Worry and anxiety never changed anything.
I heard that in the shower and spent that entire shower arguing with the logic of it. If I worry and am anxious over X, then I can plan for different outcomes. That was my refuting logic.
But the comment nagged at me. Because it's true. Which was so hard to accept!Planning different outcomes for a situation does not change the situation. It only makes you obsess over that situation until you make yourself sick.
How do we change that? One day at a time.
Pause. Stop. Deep breath. Step back. It'll be ok! You got this!
