Hey there,

Can I ask you something?

Has your brain told you any interesting stories today?

Maybe...

Your boss seemed quiet.

"They're upset with me."

Someone didn't text back.

"I must have done something wrong."

Your chest felt a little tight.

"This could be serious."

It's amazing how quickly our brains can fill in the blanks.

And here's the frustrating part...

The stories usually feel believable.

Anxiety is really good at taking one small possibility and treating it like the most likely outcome.

Before you know it, you've spent an entire afternoon preparing for something that hasn't happened.

Maybe never will.

That's what this week's article is all about.

Why anxious brains jump to the worst-case scenario...

Why it feels so convincing...

And how to stop treating every scary thought like tomorrow's headline.

One line from the article has been replaying in my head ever since I wrote it:

Fear deserves a vote. It doesn't deserve all the votes.

That doesn't mean ignoring risk.

It means remembering that fear doesn't get to decide what's most likely.

Keep it brash and keep it true to you,

Lisa

P.S. If this article sounds familiar, I'd read Fear vs. Truth: Why Your Anxiety Feels Real next. It pairs really well with this one.
