14. For someone who has an overly cluttered mind, it can help schedule time in your schedule for worrying.
Everyone has fears of some kind. Whether that is spiders or the fear of failing, we all worry to some extent, and it is natural. You can get caught up when you let your worries take over your mind and further add to the clutter that is already occurring in your mind. If your worrying impacts your day-to-life, that is where there can be a negative impact. To avoid spending too much time worrying, it can help schedule time to allow yourself the grace to embrace these fears. Suppose you are continually allowing your fears to play over and over in your mind. In that case, it can lead to self-questioning and further contributes to the clutter you are already experiencing.

Over-worrying can create hypothetical situations and hinder your ability to eliminate or let go of what decisions have already been made or what problems have already passed. None of this will have a positive impact on either your mind or body. If you find that you truly need the time to worry or think about your fears, try scheduling a reasonable amount of time in your schedule. You never want to allow these thoughts to consume too much of your time. Maybe try planning 15 minutes a day to start and then push it further out to be 15 minutes a week that you give yourself time to worry. Utilize that time to get it all out.
