Why Worrying Feels Like Safety (But Isn’t)

We often mistake worrying for safety - as though our constant thinking, rehashing plans, trying to control how everyone sees us is somehow keeping us safe. We confuse correlation with causation — and the price we pay is stress, tension, and restlessness.

This is where the practice of faith comes in. To pull our attention away from what we think is keeping us safe and come into the present moment doesn't feel rational or logical. Faith is what helps us take that leap - using our practices to safely bring us back to the present moment where we are safe. Ensuring our internal conditions match our external conditions.
