How many times have you worried way too much about something that was going to happen in the future... and then, when it happens, it turns out all your worries were wrong?
If you are like me, your answer is, "hundreds or thousands."
On a recent walk with my five insane dogs, where they almost always get into some kind of crazy situation, I pondered upon why I still worry about anything... when every time I have ever worried in the past it has turned out to have been unnecessary and, in fact, far more stressful than the actual thing I was worrying about!
This dawned on me as I talked about how I waited nearly a year to try my first juice fast. I worried if I could do it? How could I do it? What would it be like?
Finally, one day, after a year of putting it off for the "perfect time" I realized on the very first day of the fast that it was something I needed to do... and it felt amazing.
I should have known... everything I've ever worried about turned out to have been for naught.
But, I did it again just before this video, worrying if I could do a 24 hour dry fast (no food nor water).
You can see how it turned out here:
What it led me to realize is that phrase, "Don't worry, be happy," is a lot more than just a happy song from the 80s. It is telling you exactly what you need to do to be happy.
Hint: Don't worry!
