Description
How to stop overthinking and worrying about the future: an emotional motivational story about anxiety, letting go and finding peace. A life lesson for anyone who lies awake at 3 AM.
Every night at 3:12, Claire Bennett woke up and wrote down everything that could go wrong. For eleven years, she believed worrying was the same as being prepared. Then, three days before Christmas, the thing she feared most finally happened… and an 82-year-old woman with arthritic hands asked her one simple question that changed everything.
In this inspirational story, you'll discover:
✔ Why overthinking feels like protection but leaves you exhausted
✔ The one question that stops a worry spiral
✔ How to handle the problems you can fix, and the ones you can't
✔ Why being right about your fears doesn't make worrying useful
If you've ever lain awake fighting battles that haven't even started yet, this story is for you.
