The Worry Habit

Worry and anxiety are unpleasant. They make us uncertain, nervous, unable to relax, and often keep us from making needed progress. Worrying too much can keep us from enjoying our lives and can make it nearly impossible to make important decisions. At best, worrying can make us restless and unable to fully concentrate. At worst, it can cause insomnia, rash behavior, embarrassment, and keep us trapped in mind movies that play out all sorts of tragic scenarios. We can worry so often that it becomes a habit – the worry habit.
