I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately.
Worry makes you feel like you’re doing something, like you’re being responsible or prepared, but most of the time, it just leaves you exhausted.
You spend all this energy turning over the same thoughts, imagining the worst, trying to control things that aren’t even in your hands. And where does it get you?
Nowhere. Just more stressed, more tired, more disconnected. 🤦🏽♀️
I catch myself doing it all the time.
Overanalysing conversations, obsessing about what might happen, thinking if I stress enough, I can prevent things from going wrong.
But that’s not how life works. Worry doesn’t prevent pain—it just steals peace from the present.
What helps is learning to sit with the uncertainty without trying to fix everything in my head.
Taking a breath, letting go, and reminding myself that peace isn’t found in overthinking, it’s found in letting things unfold.
If this resonates with you, take it as your sign to pause, breathe, and let go—just a little. You don’t have to carry it all.
