When stress makes your mind spiral, it can get stuck in “what if”.
“What if it all goes wrong?” “What if I can’t handle it?”
These thoughts can feel like facts. A lot of the time, they’re worries. Try bringing yourself back to “what is”:
What is actually happening right now?
What do I actually know?
What is one small thing I can do next?
What’s your most common “what if”? Tell me below.
Save this for your next spiral, and follow for more tools. ✌🏼💕
