Save Your Energy – How to Stop Worrying

You want to know one thing that will not only save you energy, it will save you time, and it will make you a happier member of your family, in general? It's to stop worrying. 

Now, I used to be a huge worrywart, and I still am occasionally, I was the type of kid that couldn't go to sleep unless they had their homework done. Like that's how much I worried about random, small things. But as a business owner, it's so obvious that we worry so much. And the sad thing is, is that it's about worries that don't necessarily even come to fruition. So we have wasted so much mental energy, and time and space. And of course, your brain is trying to save you from the Tiger. It?s trying to go, "Oh, we need to worry, and we need to know what's coming up so that we can prevent something bad happening in the future." 

I was chatting with one of my clients, just last week, and they were saying how they feel so relieved now that they've actually, this week, figured out an issue that was plaguing them, and they were worried about last week. And I went, "Oh! So all of that time that you spent worrying, was that worth it? And of course, it's not, of course, it's not. But, what can we do to do something about it, right? It is our mental brain, how do we actually change those thoughts, those worried thoughts? 

Let me give you a quick tip. And this quick tip, and this is exactly what I told my client. What I wanted her to do was think about the relief that she just felt, like how amazing she just felt. And if you could think about that last week, even if it hadn't happened yet, really think about what that feels like, because that in itself will actually spark better emotions and probably a better more creative way of solving whatever it is, than the worry. 

So if you have something that's a big huge worry on your head, like, "I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to find this." Right? I want you to think about the imagining of you actually feeling how great it would feel to find it. And every time that your brain goes into the, "Oh, I don't know if I can," remind yourself, of that feeling. It's practice, it's never going to be perfect, but the more, and the more you can actually do that, the less time your brain will automatically go, into that worry mode. It will really try and pre-focused, "pre-focus", to what we already know we need to have happened. And, it will probably prevent all those little issues that are coming up and that Tiger that might be there might not be there, because you're looking for a happy solution in the end. Because focus matters, the placebo effect is real. I hope that helps.
