The Five Myths About Worry
Welcome, beautiful friends, to Episode 247 of "Be The CEO Of Your Life." Today, we're diving deep into the topic of worry. How many of you have found yourselves consumed by worry in the past five days? Or even in the past hour? It's time to challenge the myths surrounding worry and discover the truth behind this pervasive emotion.
Myth #1: Worry Equals Caring: Many of us have been conditioned to believe that worry is a sign of caring. We've heard phrases like "I worry because I love you." But the truth is, worry does not equate to caring. We can be deeply caring individuals without allowing worry to control us.
Myth #2: Worry Helps Us Prepare and Problem Solve: Contrary to popular belief, worrying does not help us prepare for or solve problems. It's like calling roadside assistance before you even have a flat tire. We cannot problem-solve for problems that haven't even occurred yet.
Myth #3: Worry Motivates Us: We often convince ourselves that worry is what motivates us to take action. But in reality, we can choose to take action based on love and purpose, rather than fear and worry.
Myth #4: Worry Protects Us from Negative Emotions: Many of us believe that worrying about bad things somehow lessens the impact if those things actually happen. But the truth is, worrying does not protect us from negative emotions. Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
Myth #5: Worry Prevents Bad Things from Happening: Lastly, we may cling to the belief that worrying can prevent bad things from happening. However, worrying about something does not have any influence on whether or not it will occur. Trusting in ourselves and our ability to handle whatever comes our way is far more empowering.
Conclusion: It's time to break free from the grip of worry and embrace a life filled with trust, love, and purpose. Remember, changing our relationship with worry takes time and effort, but it is entirely possible with dedication and support. Join me inside "Reset Your Mindset" and let's embark on this journey together. Thank you for listening, and I'll see you next week. Ciao ciao! 🎧 #BeTheCEOOfYourLife #WorryFreeLiving #MythBusting #MindsetReset
Take Aways:
Worry is not equivalent to caring: Contrary to popular belief, worrying excessively does not necessarily demonstrate how much you care about someone or something. We can show our care and concern in healthier ways without allowing worry to consume us.
Worry does not aid in problem-solving: Despite the common notion that worrying helps us prepare for and solve problems, it actually does not contribute positively to problem-solving. We cannot anticipate every possible issue, and worrying preemptively does not prevent them from occurring.
Worrying is not a reliable motivator: While some may believe that worry motivates them to take action, it often stems from fear rather than genuine motivation. We can choose to take action based on positive intentions and aspirations rather than fear-driven worry.
Worry does not shield us from negative emotions: Many people mistakenly believe that worrying about potential negative outcomes can lessen the emotional impact if those outcomes occur. However, worrying does not protect us from experiencing pain and suffering when challenges arise.
Worry does not prevent bad things from happening: Despite the desire to believe that worrying can somehow prevent negative events, it has no influence on the outcome. Trusting in our ability to navigate challenges and embracing a mindset of resilience is more empowering than succumbing to worry. -

Journey to happiness with this podcast
Olga's episode with Amanda Rocheleau was amazing! I totally agree when she mentioned that one of the contributing factors to burnout is workload. Thank you for publishing that episode, Olga!
Discriminating against white women
In your episode “should you have a life coach” you spoke against white women saying that they could not be your life coach because they have not gone to challenges. This is wrong on so many levels I do not want to devote any more energy to this, but I do want to make it known.
Highly recommended
Olga has very helpful information on this podcast. If you are struggling with fertility, you need to subscribe! She provides tons of information that I was not aware of, despite of being in this journey for almost 4 years.
Thank you Olga!
