What If . . .
- Details
All day long we ask ourselves questions: What if I don’t get the project completed? What if I am late? What if my child never takes responsibility? What if I get bad news from the Doctor? What if I can’t lose the weight? What if I don’t discover my purpose?
We play the “what if” game often and imagine the worse case scenario. This causes fear, worry, and anxiety. It weighs us down and ruins the quality of the moment that is right before us. (The only place where happiness resides.)
Try to catch yourself having a “what if” thought and then use your imagination to create the best case scenario. Notice the difference in your body when you play this out.
