I have an extremely active imagination.
Unfortunately, this has brought with it literally thousands of hours spent worrying.
I often say worry is a woeful misuse of the imagination. It really is.
It might seem as though running obsessively over our life challenges in our heads is in some way helpful. It never is.
When I understood this, so much changed.
I saw that whenever I worried, nothing in the world actually changed, except one thing:
I felt physically worse.
This is the role of worry: to make us less effective and more anxious.
That’s it.
It brings us nothing good because worry is a misuse of our thoughts.
We always feel our thoughts.
Our thoughts create our reality.
You create everything.
Thoughts are great tools for planning, invention and foresight.
But they are useless when we run through the same thoughts repeatedly in our minds.
This only serves to tighten us up like a wet rag.
So, whenever something happens in my life that I dislike — or maybe I have money worries…
