Preparation vs Worrying
Here’s the difference between mentally preparing and worrying:
- Mental preparation is decisive and active. You think about options or situations ahead of time and decide how you will handle them. You resolve something here.
- Worrying is indecisive and passive. You also think about options or situations when you worry. But you don’t make a decision on how to handle them, and then the situations happen to you. Worrying does nothing to resolve a concern or problem.
Even if your preparation turns out to be incorrect, at least you will not have wasted time as much time worrying.
