#136 What are you worrying about that won't matter tonight?

About this episode

What are you fretting about that won't matter tonight or even later today? 


In the moment. it's so hard to decipher. It feels like it will matter always. Some things naturally work themselves out, e.g. worrying about being late to a meeting or why someone isn't responding to our message. But other times, we stay so attached to the worry or concern that it's still with us for hours, days or even weeks later. 


An emotion only lasts 90 seconds—I know that seems impossible. It's our thoughts and stories that extend the feeling. 

In today's episode I share a story that demonstrates this. I also share a funny story of what happened when I was seeking to shorten this episode's title. And finally, you'll learn 3 practices to help calm that overthinking.
