Worrying

Worrying involves a fear of what might happen in the future. It generally involves negative thoughts starting with “what if” and “imagine if”. While it’s quite normal to worry at times, this can be tiring when it occurs. Some people feel a “restless” feeling in their body and find it difficult to define what causes this, while others find it easier to pinpoint what they are worrying about.
