Signs, signs, everywhere signs. This gem is at a little store less than a mile from my home. I drive by it every day. It's not wrong: Worry certainly is a misuse of imagination!
To re-route worry, we can imagine a better outcome and do the next right thing. Here are some examples of moving from wasteful worry to positive possibilities.
🍋 Are you worried about that big presentation to the executive team that's coming up?
💡 Imagine the results of a job so well done that they write songs about you! Consult a colleague, practice your speech, or review your notes. Do something to take a step toward making that positive possibility a reality.
🍋 Are you worried about your appearance as we slide into shorts and swimsuit season?
💡 Imagine how good you'll feel when you make peace with yourself, stop caring what others think, or go shopping and find something that you feel sensational in! Do something to take a step toward making that positive possibility a reality.
🍋 Are you worried about your future now that your youngest has graduated and is off to college? (Oh, wait, is that just me?)
💡 Imagine a future so bright you have to wear a cute sunhat. Take a class, nurture your network, feed your friendships, and look inward as much as outward. Dream a bigger dream and do something to take a step toward making that positive possibility a reality.
What can you do right now to re-route the energy you're using to worry toward a brighter vision of what's possible?
Whatever it is, you know I am here, wearing a cute sunhat and cheering you on!
