Summary
There's this thing that happens when life gets complicated. Your brain goes into problem-solving mode. It starts cataloging everything that's wrong, everything that needs fixing, everything that's broken or uncertain or unresolved. And it won't stop. It runs through the list over and over, like a computer stuck in a loop, searching for solutions to problems that don't have solutions yet. Not because you're lazy or incapable. Because your brain is trying to protect you. It thinks that if it can just solve everything, you'll be safe. If it can just figure out the right move, the right words, the right plan, then the anxiety will stop and the uncertainty will end and you'll finally feel okay. But here's the truth that took me years to learn: you don't have to solve everything right now. You don't have to solve most of it right now.
