Don't worry, it might not happen!
By Megan Hatch — Written on Oct 12, 2020
It's normal to want to plan ahead in the event that something goes wrong, but these quotes about worrying will remind you not to agonize over something that might not happen at all.
Worrying gets even the best of us upset, scared, and stressed, and honestly, it’s not worth it! How many times have you worried about something that ended up being fine and in the end, there was no reason to add all that stress to your day? I know for a fact that’s happened to me multiple times and maybe you have experienced that too.
It’s a good question to ask ourselves, “why do we worry so much?” Worrying can turn us into a fearful scared person instead of a strong confident woman.
Any kind of worrying holds you hostage and it’s hard to think or do anything without your brain reminding you of your worry.
Don’t let that worry stop you from doing anything! Take control of your life, choices, and problems as soon as possible so you can spend more time doing the things you love or being with the people you love.
Constant worrying is a concern because that could then turn to physical symptoms and anxiety. Worrying is not good for your body at all.
