Along with the fact that it’s unhealthy, it is also quite unproductive. We’ll notice if we look at the difference of those mental actions: the pro-activity in creating change is the demonstrable characteristic and the other function: worrying, is a visible restriction to figuring out how to creatively assess that which we worry about.
