When you have a stressful matter to deal with, you can procrastinate or meet the challenge head on.
Avoiding to face reality, causes unnecessary worry and anxiety. You start fabricating in your mind the potential consequences, many of them never happen. Nonetheless, you play them out in your mind, compounding your stress. My mentor & co-author of the book “Life Balance the Sufi Way” Dr. Nido Qubein says 95% of what we worry about never happens!
Instead of fabricating different consequences instead invest your energy addressing your challenge head on and you will be pleasantly surprised that it is actually not that bad.
