680: How to Live More and Worry Less

High Performance Mindset | Learn from World-Class Leaders, Consultants, Athletes & Coaches about Mindset

About this episode

In this episode of High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra dives into the science of worry—and how to take back control of your mind and energy. Drawing on research from Dr. Robert Leahy, she shares that 85% of what we worry about never actually happens. Even more powerful: when our fears do come true, we tend to handle them better than expected.
 
Cindra unpacks why our brains are wired to worry—usually about the people and priorities we care most about—and how unchecked worry can steal our joy, drain our energy, and keep us stuck in the future. She then shares three practical strategies to reduce worry:
  • Notice and label your thoughts instead of reacting to them.
  • Schedule a "worry window" to contain anxious thinking.
  • Let go of perfectionism and the need to plan for every possible outcome.
The episode closes with a calming power phrase to carry with you: "I quiet my mind and return to the present."
