Show Notes
If a worry keeps interrupting your day before anything's actually happened, here's the specific habit for it: a worry window.
This episode walks through setting one up — picking a short window later in the day, naming a worry in a few words the moment it shows up early, and reviewing the list later with one simple question: is there something to actually do about this right now, or isn't there. It's a practical follow-up you can use on its own, whether or not you've heard today's main episode.
By the end, you'll have a plan for the next time your mind reaches for something that hasn't happened yet.
