What if most of what we worry about is not as real as it feels in the moment? Worry tends to take small uncertainties and stretch them into large and threatening stories that rarely match reality. Worry does not improve the future as much as it burdens the present. It pulls us into imagined outcomes—usually the worst ones—while making it harder to respond clearly to what is actually happening now. Healing begins as we loosen our grip on those negative narratives and instead practice a curiosity that invites us to reflect on the goodness that may be.
