Sometimes we take our situation, internalize it and torture ourselves with the worst possible outcome. This is catastrophizing. We do this in order to prepare ourselves for what may happen when we are not in control during our most vulnerable times. I am sharing two scenarios of people that have anonymously shared their stories with the hopes of healing the masses. Life is a beautiful thing when it is lived, not when you succumb to the fear of the "what if". Know that God loves you, has a plan for you, and wants to build you to get to your purpose. Trust me, I have catastrophized in the past to the point it has made me sick. I don't want you to experience that, so please join me in understanding and embracing the fight against catastrophizing.
