It's amazing how long it takes to realize this. If I ever get another tattoo, I am stealing your acronym! LNWH. Makes for a great conversation starter, too, I would imagine.

John if you, or anyone who reads my work, were to get something I wrote tattooed onto their body, I would instantly retire and consider my life's work complete.

Yeah, Taylor, that's something I've tried to reprogram in my own brain recently as well. Like half the stuff I worry about are A. not even real yet and B. probably never will be real and C. won't be that big of a deal if they happen anyway, probably.

Keeping years and years of journals has taught me this lesson. I love reading past entries and seeing all the crap I was worrying about years ago that never came to pass.

Not threats.” Haha so true! Love this!

Love the scale of perspective you’re using to diffuse the emotional response we have to anxious thoughts. Well done!

There’s power in letting go of perceived outcomes and simply surrendering to whatever happens. There’s always a lesson to be learned from any experience, good or bad.
