Taming Your Brain to Stop Hurting You - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast

Are you worried about something in your life right now? Most people worry – it’s a generational legacy that doesn’t serve us very well, yet we do it anyway.

One of my favorite quotes is “Worrying is using your powerful imagination to create something you don’t want.”

Abraham Hicks shared that, and when you’re in the process of worrying you do create something you don’t want: a stress reaction inside your body. The brain doesn’t differentiate between something that’s really happening or something that you’re imagining, so it fires up the same chemical and biophysical environment inside your skin.

You already know this – stress is bad for your body in so many ways, and worrying is a horrible thing to do to your body.

Thoughts are a choice – when you find yourself worrying about anything, make a choice to stop worrying. Laugh at yourself and say something like “oh, look at that old habit sneaking back in!” Then do something that doesn’t allow you to worry – singing is my go-to, because I can’t worry and sing at the same time.

Don’t worry, be happy – Bobby McFarrin’s song says it just right!
