How To Eliminate 90% Of Your Worries

Here's the secret: Write down every worry you have.

Every. Single. One.

Your car might die. The promotion at work might go to Tina. You're scared of the sniffles.

Whatever it is, write it down. Seal those fears in an envelope, date it for six months in the future, and wait.

When the time comes, open it up and take a look.

I'm confident you'll discover that either 90% of your worries never materialized or they unfolded more positively than you anticipated.

Worrying about things beyond our control doesn't change the future and only steals from our present joy. So write it down and let it go! That's how you beat worry.

Disclaimer: Managing worries is a highly individual process, and what works for one person may not work for another. While this strategy works for me, please consider seeking professional advice that aligns with your unique needs and circumstances.
