Does Worrying Ever Really Help You? Part 1

Worrying—does it ever really help? Think about it. Has a single situation in your life improved because you replayed it in your mind a hundred times? Worry doesn’t change the outcome; it only changes you. It raises your cortisol, stresses your body, and keeps your mind stuck in a loop of fear and anxiety.And here’s the thing—we do this not only in the moment but even after everything turns out fine. We rehash the pain, the embarrassment, the unfairness, as if by reliving it, we’ll somehow rewrite it. But we don’t. Instead, we pull ourselves back into that place of guilt, shame, or fear, over and over again.When we do this, we’re not just worrying—we’re keeping ourselves tied to the past. And that’s not healthy.Support the show
