your own anxiety, it’s because you don’t have a plan regarding
the thing that’s making you scared.
Think about something you aren’t scared of. Do you know
why you aren’t scared of it? Because you have a plan for
what you’d do if it were to happen. So you’re able to let go
and be present.
Whether it’s becoming financially healthy, improving
your relationships, going to therapy, getting a new job, or
pursuing a new career path or dream: If you don’t have a
plan, you’re going to keep having a problem.
HUMBLE YOURSELF, BECAUSE IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU
It seems like everyone is thinking about you, judging
you, evaluating you, and determining your status in life.
They aren’t.
Social media has likened us all to mini-celebrities in our
own circles: We become convinced that everyone around
us is disproportionately concerned with the minutiae of
our lives.
In a number of decades, you will be gone. Your home will
be sold to a new family. Your job will be taken by someone
else. Your kids will be adults. Your work will be done. This
isn’t supposed to depress you; it is supposed to liberate you.
