95% of North Americans either go to bed or wake up worrying about something. Worrying is the #1 killer of creativity, performance and dreams.  »What you tolerate, you worry about », said Isabelle Mercier at #TEDxStanleypark. She mentions that we need to stop worrying because what we worry about are mostly nonsense or will more likely never happen.

40% will never happen, it’s like putting a 40% down payment on a house you will never own…

30% has already happen, we just re-play the movie in our head

12% are little minor health things like headaches

10% are miscellaneous things like what shoes to wear

8% are real legitimate problems

So 92% of what we worry about is for nothing at all!

She suggests the HERO strategie:
Hush the noise.

Evaluate what and who you are tolerating. If you don’t say NO to what you don’t want, you will never have the time nor the energy for what you do want.

Ritualize, make a habit that brings you to be your best self

Own it, it is not enough to know it, you have to BE it!
