I always try to remember that 98% of what you worry about never takes place! I heard that somewhere and it definitely seems true!

My husband always says “don’t cross bridges until you’re there”. So true!

This video really hit home for me, Christine. Even though I'm a positive thinker, fears and worries do pop up in my mind and can plant themselves if I don't pay attention and divert my thinking. I also need to frequently remind myself to let go (as best I can) of things I have no control over. That's a tough one, since I'm a control freak. I frequently fear the worst since I always want the best for my family, friends and myself and the future does frighten me. I keep telling myself that God is in control and we shouldn't be worried. As always, thank you so much for your wisdom and insights!

Great share! wish you have a great day and no worries!

I worry so much all the time. I get paralised and cant keep with my hobbies. It's a awful feeling.

Tired of this.

This is one of the best talks I've heard on anxiety. Clear explanation and guidance on managing anxiety. Thank you so much. As for duration, I enjoy long videos myself instead of jumping from one topic to the next on YouTube to gain insight and advice. Please continue making your wonderful videos.

[katherineraina]

This is excellent! So practical and immediately helpful! I am implementing some of the steps today, thank you SO much! I'm so glad to have found your channel.

Great video, Christine! I really needed to hear this as I’m an expert at “what if” and I try to plan for every possible outcome. I am getting better at staying in the moment, though.

As you asked…I prefer 10-15 minute videos, in general.

I'm glad you brought up climate change. That is the big stressor for me because I cannot control it. It is bigger than I am and I often feel at the mercy of both it and those who keep making it worse. I have other things in my life that deserve my focus and attention, but it is always there, like a predator ready to pounce on me from the recesses of my repressed thoughts. I'll be sure to re-watch this video, it was very helpful.

Thank you very much! Your video gave me clarity 😊

Hi Christine thank you so much for this video. Since covid I've been struggling with news anxiety and I started catastrophizing about everything. Especially about things I can't control. I'm 20 and I'm extremely concerned about my future and since there are many wars taking place in different parts of the world I'm not very optimistic you know.. Nevertheless your video really helped me and it weakened in me a powerful will. I think that know it's the time to let go of all the negativity and start to build my life without worrying about things that are far away from my Country. Thank you for everything Christine, wish you well 🤍

PS: hope you could understand me since English is not my first language 😅

This is a great video and I'm so glad I came across it today.

8:40 What about if you have tried to find/tackled the ways you can influence the outcome but you worry you are missing some, and this is a massive worry?

I have bad anxiety . Getting meds from doc but have to wait a few weeks for it to kick in . My anxiety is made worse because I have vulva lichen planus which is red, sore, burning all day . I have to go for a biopsy & it’s making my anxiety worse. My legs are very sore too. Please advise me what I need to do? 🌺
