What I Know So Far
18. “What If” Versus “What Is”
The challenges of indulging in "what ifs" and seeking unnecessary information.
- I explore the difference between "what is" and "what if" in life.
- I share how I avoided Googling a scary “what if” medical condition, opting for a doctor's appointment instead.
Exploring "what ifs" in life and managing anxiety.
- I reflect on my ability to think through multiple possibilities and scenarios, sometimes to the point of catastrophizing.
- I suggest exploring “what ifs” can be helpful in certain situations, like making big decisions or preparing for potentially challenging outcomes.
Managing anxiety through self-confidence and focusing on the present moment.
- Indulging in "what ifs" and conversing with others about them occasionally leads to us feeling worse afterward, so gentle boundaries are needed.
- I suggest that sometimes inaction can lead to things working out, but also acknowledge the importance of effort and decision-making.
- I reflect on the importance of being present in the moment and dealing with “what is” rather than getting caught up in “what ifs.”
- I encourage listeners to remember they will handle whatever life throws their way.
