The Overthinker's Guide to Joy | Chronic Worrier

Ep #35: Are You a Chronic Worrier?

May 4, 2022

I’ve spent a good chunk of my life making worry my go-to habit. I thought that if I just worried about everything ahead of time, that I was somehow managing it and would feel better at the end of the day. But the truth is, worry begets worry, and it’s a cycle that can take over your entire life. 

Worry is like a toxic ex-boyfriend who sends you a message out of the blue to say hi. It’s so subtle that you almost don’t see the harm at first. But then it wants to stay, hang out, and infect all areas of your life. And once you invite it in, it’s so hard to get rid of. So, how do we become cognizant of what we’re worried about?

Listen in this week as I show you how to stop the runaway train of worry. I’m sharing why worry is a bad habit that doesn’t serve you or the people you love, how we mistakenly turn to it as a strategy to feel better, and my favorite way to break the worry cycle when I feel it creeping in.
