*Ugh* Sometimes I wonder that I don’t have a permanent frown etched into my face! I really need to stop worrying so much!
I, for one, definitely need to stop taking myself seriously.
All that worrying isn’t doing anybody any good. ‘Cause it doesn’t come from a place of love, or a place of “I’m gonna change this.” It comes from a place of fear.
Worrying looks like
- trying to keep everything in control (even those things that are out of your control)
- looking for that crystal ball
- overanalysing;
- overthinking;
- over-googling;

Give yourself some slack. Trust that things will turn out all right. Stop trying to control ALL THE THINGS and enjoy yourself some more.
You only have one life – don’t waste it with an “if…. then… attitude”.
