In order to answer this question, we have to appreciate the thin line between anticipating future events and worrying about future events. The essential difference —anticipating versus worrying —has to do with the infusion of insecurity.

In this Self-Coaching episode, you’ll find out why it’s important to take a step back from any life challenge or crisis and ask two important questions:

·         Is what I’m feeling rational and reasonable?

·         Is what I’m feeling proportionate or disproportionate to the circumstance?

Asking these questions will put you in the best possible position to begin to liberate yourself from needless worry and stress.
