Anticipation is Worse than Reality

Most of us have a tendency to mentally time-travel into the future and, while we're there, tell wild stories about how everything is going to HORRIBLY wrong. You know what I mean?

  • The project is going to bomb

  • The savings account is going to shrink to nothing

  • The friends / kids / partner are going to find out I have no idea what I'm doing and leave me alone and destitute

Our minds fill our attention with such scary stories of doom and gloom and instead of remembering that these predictions aren't REAL, we fall for those tales and wind up filled with dread, overwhelm, and anxiety.

So here's what we're going to talk about on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast this week: anticipation is worse than reality.

If you ever find yourself losing the plot, fully immersed in the story your mind is weaving, worried sick about how to control the future, this episode is for you.
