Worrying--oh my do I have to remind myself of this. If there is nothing to be done about an impending event, why ruin today worrying about it. This comes in handy why I'm flying (actually, came in handy, because I don't fly anymore). I work myself into a frenzy before the trip, on the plane. Ridiculous. If it crashes, it crashes. Worrying isn't going to stop that.
I think in a way, worry is a way of trying to control an event. It's a kind of guarding. We think if we aren't vigilant, then bad things will happen.
Totally irrational :)))
For me, it was the performance anxiety of social interaction in the context of sales and business. I couldn't give a shit about perishing in a plane crash as it was obvious to me I had zero control over the outcome. A screwed up business conversation leading to lost opportunity, revenue and enployment, that is what gets me over thinking! That or a personal slight where I thought someone was taking advantage of me like they were a bully. That gets me going!
Anyhow, knowing to draw the line when overthinking surely is a bit of a superpower.
