The Harrod's Pivot: My 1# QUICK tool to cope with anxiety
Most of my life, I called myself an anxious person. My mum called me a 'zorgenkontje', meanin 'little overthinker'. I have always been drawn to taking the worst thing that could happen and spinning it over and over in my little mind, until I myself felt dizzy.
Worrying has always been my protective shield.
‘‘If I worry, then I will have thought about all the potential upcoming events and I won't be surprised by anything.’’ I believed as a child. I would be protected from the hardship of life through my own imagination.
