Summary

We spend a lot of time worrying, often driven by beliefs about its positive effects like proactive problem-solving and protecting ourselves from negative emotions. Yet excessive worry can lead to fatigue and poor decision-making. To manage worry mindfully, practice awareness of the root causes, set boundaries around what you can control, and calm your mind through exercises like meditation or going for a walk. While worry is natural, the ABC method – awareness, boundaries, and calm – can help make it more manageable and even use it as a tool for growth.
