From my interview with — ‘I love the quote, “Worry is a waste of the imagination.” It resonates deeply with the countless stories I’ve heard from children and parents navigating anxiety. So often, clients come to me burdened by the “what-ifs” that dominate their thoughts, weighed down by a diagnosis of anxiety. It’s a theme we see reflected constantly in our news and media — a collective focus on worry. But when we embrace this quote, it opens the door to grounding ourselves in the present moment.
By tuning into our bodies — acknowledging that we are physically safe, breathing, surrounded by loved ones, or simply feeling the warmth of sunshine — we can shift from worry to possibility. This isn’t about indulging in fantastical thinking; it’s about aligning with the reality of what is, rather than being consumed by what if.’
