Keep fear at bay with these two essential questions.
<>
If you’re being chased through the forest by a bear, fear is an extremely valuable emotion.
Unfortunately, most of our fears have very little to do with outrunning a 600 lb animal.
As you know, most of our fears involve future events that have very little chance of ever occurring.
Despite massive amounts of evidence to the contrary, we’ve all allowed worry to creep into our minds and take us hostage.
When this happens, most people wonder, “How can I keep from ever having this thought again?”
The answer is…. You can’t. These thoughts come and go like the wind, and there’s very little you can do to keep them from randomly popping up now and then.
However, what you can do is to lessen the energy you give each one by asking two simple questions:
- Is it true?
- Is there anything I can do about it today?
If the answer to both is “no,” then let it go.
