Worrying ≠ Prepared

“There’s too much to do and not enough time!”

Sound familiar?

That was me last week—

Overthinking. Drowning in to-dos.

And for some reason, I thought worrying was helping.

Like if I didn’t stress about it, I wasn’t taking life seriously enough.

Then, mid-spiral, I remembered a quote I used to love:

“We suffer more in imagination than in reality.” – Seneca

Then another:

“Tell me what problem you have in this moment.” – Eckhart Tolle

And finally:

“Stop thinking… and end your problems.” – Lao Tzu

That’s when it all clicked:

Worrying doesn’t make you more prepared...

It paralyzes you.

It's fear disguised as "responsibility."

And the wild part?

99% of what I worry about never happens anyway.

So this week, instead of spiraling, I'm going to:

Breathe.Prioritize.Do one thing at a time.And do it with a smile.
