What, Me Worry?

Towards the end of last year someone suggested signing up to this new Mel Robbins “Mindset Reset” program that was starting January 1st. It’s a free program that involves 35 daily e-mails, coaching, tools, etc. I’ll be honest, even though I signed up and started getting the emails on the 1st, I wasn’t really tuned in and promptly deleted them. I saw them in my inbox, but I was busy making my own 2019 plans and visions and I simply didn’t have the time to log another type of program.

That changed the other week when video #13 arrived in my Inbox. The title…What Are You Worried About? Now, that’s my kind of hook. For those who know me, I’m a professional worrier. If worrying was an Olympic sport, yep, that would be me on the podium. Worrying is coupled with this other “issue” I have called overthinking. They go hand in hand. Along with anxiety.

The daily videos from Mel this week have been about the relationship between worrying and anxiety (Days 13 – 16). I didn’t actually understand the relationship between the two. Mel is really candid about her struggle with anxiety and her transparency is refreshing. I think I can also resonate with what she is saying.

I’m aware that like many conditions, there is a spectrum when it comes to anxiety. Some people face insurmountable pressures associated with anxiety, while others can sense a tinge of physical manifestation when excessive thinking of negative thoughts (worrying) starts to produce physical feelings (anxiety).

I’ve listened to Mel’s daily videos while on the treadmill over the past few days; eagerly consuming her trainings and listening to her answering questions from listeners. It’s good stuff. I may actually go back and listen to the earlier trainings.

If you think you could benefit from a mindset reset in 2019, check out the website and sign up to get the content. It’s completely free and she’s promised not to try and funnel you into another paid program.

P.S. The “What, Me Worry” headline is just a throw back to my earlier days as a fan of MAD Magazine (Alfred E. Neuman).
