Are you also fed up with people insisting that 80-90% of your worries will never come true? We can relate! Hearing that over and over can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you're already feeling anxious. It often feels dismissive, as if they are minimizing your feelings. They might as well say that 10-20% of your worries actually happen.
It can leave you feeling foolish because you can’t seem to stop worrying, no matter how hard you try. You might think that knowing these statistics would help ease your mind. However, the statement that so many of your worries won’t materialize is misleading.
The truth is we don’t worry simply because we think something might happen. Our worries stem from deeper issues. We worry because we take our thoughts too seriously. We lose control when faced with unsettling thoughts. The real issue is not what we fear happening, but rather what we think about our thoughts in the first place.
For example, consider worrying about the weather. It won't change a single thing about the weather itself. The weather operates independently of our fears or thoughts. The forecast might bring storms, but that's true whether you worry about it or not.
Yes, there can be moments when what you fear aligns with reality, but that doesn't mean your thoughts have any power over the future. They are merely coincidental. Believing that your thoughts can shape reality is a flawed concept.
If you feel that your thoughts hold power or struggle to control your worries, you’re not alone. Many people face this challenge. It’s possible to change that perception. We can help you understand that your thoughts do not have the influence you believe. Additionally, your worries can be managed and controlled, allowing you to live with less anxiety.
By shifting your perspective, you can regain control over your mind. Reach out to us to start the journey toward managing your worries effectively.
