Calculating Worry

[1]

I have a thought experiment. Let’s pretend I could wave a magic wand and eliminate from your life the one thing you worry about the most – maybe it’s financial insecurity, illness, career or relationship stress. For the purpose of this experiment, take a moment and pick one. Now try to imagine (and closing your eyes might help), what impact would it have on your day to no longer be gripped by your biggest fear. And here’s my sincere question – would eliminating the worry free you up or just get transferred to something else? I’d love to know what you think?
