Stop Worrying About A Future You Can’t Predict

About this episode

Ashley Leggs discusses the futility of worrying about an unpredictable future and offers strategies for finding peace in the present.

Stop bracing for an impact that might not even be coming. Ashley breaks down why worry is just fiction you're writing about a future that doesn't exist yet, and why valid feelings and useful feelings are not the same thing. You'll learn how to catch yourself mid-spiral, how to stop living by imaginary deadlines, and why letting it come to you first might be the most powerful thing you can do for your peace right now.
