Worry As Illusion Of Control - Deepstash

Worry As Illusion Of Control

Worry is fundamentally different than effective planning and problem-solving.

By definition, worry is unhelpful thinking about negatives in the future. Planning and problem-solving can be difficult because they’re negative, but they lead to results—they’re productive and generative.

Worry gives us the illusion of control.

But ultimately it’s a trap: You can’t control nearly as much as you would like.
