Most of the things we fear will happen… never do. 🌪️ In fact, research shows that over 85% of what we worry about never actually happens. And in the rare cases that it does, people tend to handle it far better than they ever imagined.
But here’s the thing—your mind doesn’t know the difference between a real threat and a perceived one. To your nervous system, the “what ifs” can feel just as real as actual danger. So your brain goes into overdrive, acting like every possibility is a life-or-death emergency. And that’s exhausting.
This is why it’s so important to pause and recognize fear for what it really is: A signal. Not a prophecy. Not a truth.
At HEAL YOURSELF Therapy, we help people untangle those anxious thought loops—not just from the mind, but from the body, where they often hide and fester. Because when you heal the anxiety from the inside out, you stop living in survival mode… and start actually living.
✨ Life’s too short to be ruled by “what ifs.” And hey, if a cat with glasses can face a shark and sip her coffee in peace… maybe you can too. ☕🐱🦈
