I want to worry less in 2026. I’m guessing I’m not the only one. Here are 7 weird phrases that stop me worrying in no time.
– “In 100 years: All new people!”
(My ´go-to´ phrase)
– “Your inbox will keep filling up after you’re dead”
(So stop checking every 5 minutes)
– “In 10,000 years, only a handful of people will remember my name”
(No, they won´t 😆 )
– “I’ve survived 100% of my worst days”
(I´d say that’s a pretty good track record)
– “My problems would sound hilarious to my great-grandparents”
(And to anyone living in a 2nd or 3rd world country: 80% of the population)
– “This too shall pass”
(A classic)
“Right now, in this exact second, I’m fine”
(Not in the past. Not in the future. RIGHT now, this exact second)
Most of our worries are about:
• A past we can’t change
• A future we can’t predict
• A present we’re….well….not noticing
Right now:
• Your heart is beating
• Your lungs are working
• Your brain is reading this
• You’re actually okay
Congrats!
Everything else?
Just stories we tell ourselves.
What’s your weird anti-worry phrase?
