Reasons To Stop Worrying (Break The Habit of Excessive Thinking)

There’s a fundamental difference between planning and worrying. Planning is constructive and focuses on our own actions in a conceptual future, while worrying is trying to control the uncontrollable by repeating possible and even unrealistic scenarios over and over again.

Our worries can even consist of fantasies that are totally out of touch with reality. Therefore, as opposed to planning, it’s destructive.

Nevertheless, we keep worrying because, for some reason, we think that this is going to help us in one way or another. Unfortunately, worrying generally does more harm than good. This video lays out reasons to stop worrying.

One of my favorite quotes is, "Worry is a terrible waste of imagination." That helped me curb my worrying.

Becoming physically disabled in a vehicle accident at the beginning of this year taught me the futility of worrying. You can have done everything right and things can still go to shit.

The past is finished and the future does not yet exist. Stay in the present and focus on what you can do in the moment

We should always be asking ourselves: “Is this something that is, or is not, in my control?” — Epictetus

The funniest and saddest thing is when you try your hardest to avoid something horrible you thought might happen, only to basically end up being the cause of it

Worring is like sitting in a rocking chair. It doesn’t get you anywhere. But it gives you something to do

"Nothing is so wretched or foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness is it to be expecting evil before it comes." - seneca

The hardest hurdle to overcome is worrying about how much I'm worrying lol.

I’ve been telling myself today: if God wanted us to think about the future, He’d let us know what’s going to happen; if He wanted us to change the past, He’d let us change it. But instead, He wants us to live the present moment which is why we can’t change the past, and can’t depict what the future holds. And this some how calmed me.
Thank you very much for the video, such a calming one, as your usual videos! Very much love for this channel, it’s really helping me to improve myself. Wish you all the best 🙏🏻

One of the worst habits we all seem to suffer as it takes the joy of today. Remember the future is unwritten! Take your next step with confidence!

I'm the worst for this including over-thinking, makes life so hard at times

The story of the Chinese farmer is absolutely fantastic. There's a lot to learn from ancient knowledge such as these.

Man I used to be a worrier. I tried to plan out everything. Now I let life take its course & things usually work out just fine 😊
