About this episode
We all worry, about all sorts of stuff. Is it possible to be worry-free? It is if you learn to trade in any budding worry for curiosity. When you do that, your "what if" worry questions become "I wonder" curiosity statements. Add a potential positive outcome to your curiosity and you generate creative thinking and positive action to keep your worry at bay. Little Jonny (that's me, back in the day) thought to himself, "What if I fail this science test after all the work I've put into studying for it?" He remembers the "I wonder" trick and asks himself, "I wonder how well I will do on the science test after all my hard work." Check out Amanda's story that follows. Blessings, Dr. Jon
