Understand worry is a waste of time

The NAWLS Small Bite for May 3rd  is

 

Understand worry is a waste of time.

Have you ever avoided doing something, because you were worried about what might happen if you did it? Living according to your worries can create problems, because worries deal with what might happen, not what will happen.

If your worries paralyze you, remember that nothing bad or good will happen without action. You'll never know what might be unless you take some risk. It's true, consequences will occur as a result of your actions, but that's not always a bad thing. Worries only serve to hold you back from reaching your potential. Casting them aside, you'll find the reality is usually much more tolerable than the imagined.

Action for the day: 

Are worries holding you back and controlling your life? In your journal, make a list of your main worries and explore how you can move past them.
