Today on May we talked about why worry isn't actually preparation. It's a stand-in for action that shows up when there's nothing yet to act on. Here's the practical version. A worry window.

2:07Pick a specific 10 to 15 minutes later in your day. Not right before bed. And decide that's your worry window starting today. The rest of the day when a worry shows up you're not going to fight it. You're going to write it down in just a few words. On your phone, on a sticky note, wherever's handy, and tell it honestly, I've got you covered later. Then go back to what you were doing. When your worry window arrives, open the list.
