Catastrophizing: What's the Worst That Can Happen
Sometimes our mind runs ten steps ahead, creating problems that don’t even exist yet.
Ep. 146 Let's get real about catastrophizing—that sneaky little habit where your brain tries to “protect” you by spiraling into worst-case scenarios. And before you know it? You’re stuck. Overthinking. Overplanning. Not moving.
I’ve been there. Looking busy. Feeling productive.
But really? I was just avoiding the next move.
Key Takeaways:
• How to recognize when you’re solving imaginary problems
• Why perfectionism and procrastination are just fear in disguise
• My “parking lot” method to quiet the mental noise
• The power of taking the next right step (not the whole staircase)
• How to trust that future you can handle what comes
