take the time to imagine nothing see how grand it
Anxiety doesn’t come from the future—it comes from our thoughts about it. What if, instead of asking ‘What could go wrong?’ you started asking, ‘What could go right?’ Every time your mind tries to spiral, pause and reframe. You’re not powerless—you’re powerful enough to choose a new perspective. The moment you change your thoughts, you begin to change your reality.”
Stay happy, stay healthy, stay loved.
