Have you noticed how worry never fixes anything?
Yet, worry is a feeling that many of us are all too familiar with.
It can range from a mild sense of unease to all-consuming anxiety, and it can feel like an unavoidable part of life.
But have you ever stopped to think about what exactly worry does for us?
The truth is, despite our best intentions, worry never actually fixes anything.
In fact, it often makes our problems feel even bigger and more overwhelming.
Yet we all worry - often needlessly as most of what we worry about never transpires.
So "stop worrying."
I know that’s easier said than done, to just stop….
