How does your computer desktop makes it difficult for you to order in a restaurant?
If your computer desktop looks cluttered with icons to click, you have everything at your fingertips. A click of a button and you have what you want - documents are easy to find. What if you put your icons into folders that were stored off your desktop?
Whether or not you are aware of it, you might ask yourself:
What if I forget where I put them?
What if I need them right away?
What if I forget that I had them?
What if that keeps me off track?
What if I can't do my job?
What if I start underperforming?
The intense anxiety prompts you to keep all of your choices available - because "what if?"
It's good to have choices. But it's also a curse. Because of questions like - "what if?"
It might also be the reason you have a hard time deciding what to order in a restaurant - because "what if?"
If you're deciding what to cook for when the family comes over, "what if?"
There will always be a "what if," but what's right in front of us is - "what is."
