Stop Stealing From Your Own Joy

from Finding Yourself in Motherhood · host Andrea Gunnell

 Are you a worrier? Do you find yourself mentally living in a future full of problems that haven't happened yet — and may never happen? In this episode, we're talking about the very important difference between worrying about the future and preparing for it. Preparation empowers you. Worry just steals your joy. I'm sharing a very personal story about my own struggle with worry over my children's health and the moment I realized my brain was trying to pull me out of gratitude and into anxiety over something that wasn't even happening. We'll also cover why your brain defaults to worry in the first place, how to trust your future self, and a few practical tools you can start using today to stop letting worry rob you of your present life.
