It can feel overwhelming right now. One mental state that I’d bet we have all experienced recently is worry. With so much change happening in every facet of life, it’s normal to feel worried from time to time.

We don’t know how things are going to work out, and that uncertainty creates a deep sense of discomfort.

Worry isn’t a pleasant feeling or state of mind, yet we go there repeatedly. The hardest part of worrying about uncertain situations is the point where you spiral.

In stressful times when we most need restorative rest, we can find ourselves lying awake in the small hours, worrying over things that we can’t control.

Your mind runs away with the worst-case scenario, and you feel worse and worse.

If worry doesn’t make us feel good, why do we do it?

It seems to work like this. In the past, we’ve worried about something, but everything has turned out OK.

The result is that our brain pairs the feeling of worry with a positive outcome. The brain becomes convinced that worrying helps us get the result that we want.

And sometimes it can.
