another thing people sometimes ask me is well why  do i worry like what why is it that human beings   have learned to worry if it doesn't keep us safe  if it's not necessary to motivate us because it   only can motivate us to do things that we don't  want to do in the first place and most of the time   it's actually counterproductive why would human  beings evolve with that capacity and worry is just   a particular use of the mind it's an innocent  misuse of the creative potential of the mind   that same thing that lets you worry yourself sick   is what lets you invent things that  have never been invented before   that is what lets you daydream things that that  you've never thought about as possible for you   so it it it's the same as most things the problem  isn't that we have an amazing creative potential   it's that we innocently use it to create  worry and anxiety and and to upset ourselves   and when we start to see that the problem  isn't that we think it's that we don't see  

our thoughts as thinking we see them as oh that  could really happen we see them as important   warnings about the future and when you start  to see that you realize thoughts not your enemy   you don't have to to kill off your brain you  don't have to stop yourself from thinking   you just have to recognize that from time to time  your your thoughts will spin a little bit out of   control and when they do you'll feel anxious but  when they settle again you'll be as good as new   and you'll be able to see clearly and you'll still  be able to use your creative mind when you need it   but you'll be less inclined and less  likely to use it against yourself   and more inclined to use it to create amazing new  possibilities in your world so the last thing that   i would say and i don't know whether this is going  to be comforting or annoying is if you're worried   don't worry about it worry comes and goes  it's made of thought and like all thought  

sometimes it'll be there and sometimes  it won't but whether it's there or not   like a cloud that looks solid but  an airplane can fly right through it   you can move forward you can live your life you  can do just fine when there's worry but you can   move forward and do just fine when you're not i  hope this has been helpful thanks for listening you
