How to Stop Worrying About Things You Can’t Change

There are a few different ways that you can stop worrying about things that you can’t change. The first thing is to just accept that some things are uncertain and you can thrive in that because you can try some new things out. You also can call a friend to talk to and get everything off your chest. Finally, practicing mindfulness is a great way to keep your mind focused on the present instead of focusing on things that you can’t change.

Key Takeaways:

• There has been research done that shows approximately 85% of the things that we worry about don’t actually come to fruition.
• When something we worry about does actually happen, about 80% of people say that they handle the outcome better than they thought they would.
• People who get rid of their worries instead of focusing on them and stressing out are much healthier.
