Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that my new book, Things That Matter, is finally here. I put my heart into it, and I can’t wait to share it with you. You can pick up a copy at www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/676394/things-that-matter-by-joshua-becker/
My friend, Mario, from Mexico, told me, "Tomás, if there is a solution to your problem, why worry?; and if there is not a solution to your problem, why worry"? Made a lot of sense, and that did it for me. Great vid!
I’m ill, hubby just got a pay cut, I’m still in therapy for trauma, we just got evicted and had to move in a pandemic... we are still doing great and it comes down to one simple fact. Jesus is still on the throne. It’s good to think about worst case scenarios and add some protection but honestly I never saw me being in therapy for years dealing with stuff I never imagined was my reality because my brain had blocked it all out. I’ve learnt to pray and ask God what to do and often some years on I understand why He had me do what He asked. Even simple things like 6 weeks ago He told me to condense the contents of a bookcase into half. Now I’ve moved house I understand it was because that bookcase doesn’t fit in the new house and I could only get the half sized on it. He cares about even the smallest of details in our lives!
Thank you for sharing those thoughts. The method with the worst case scenario has one more benefit: with a lot of problems one realises that the worst case in reality is much less frightening than our imagination and our fear itself.
Excellent! I had heard a piece of Strategy 2 before...the imagine the worst case scenario part...but never heard it carried out to "work on improving it." I love that. Regarding comments about how we shouldn't give energy to worst case scenario (WCS) thoughts...I agree in general. But this is counsel to help a person who gets stuck there (WCS) to have a strategy to get out of that place. So, the result is the same - not camping out in WCS. "Don't do the thing you can't seem to stop yourself from doing" is rarely helpful advice. Stuck is stuck. Strategy 2 in the video can help someone get unstuck. Thanks for this, Joshua. Thank you, too, Kim for the transparency that led to this video. You guys are helping people.
Thank you sir I have depression since 25 year and is so hard to do any thing my house is to darty I have no desire to clean every evening I am saying myself tomorrow I will do this but I cant sleep because of depression. So next day begins same again then again evening I think for next day. 25 year no cleaning my hous and life is like bin. But now when you new video come I look the video and clean for 10 minute after I give up. At least 10 minutes in week i get motivated from you videos thank you so much. My English is not good if I make any mistakes please forgive me. Thank you again 🙏
Hi! How are you today? I think maybe to watch these videos EVERY DAY , you will get 10 minutes of cleaning EACH DAY! Then, put the video 2 times every day. Maybe this way you will get the habbit of cleaning, step by step. I also need to clean my house. I wish you all the best and good luck! Greetings from România!
Big fan of this mindset, quite stoic. If you have no control over something don’t obsess over it, work on areas you can control and worry/mental wellbeing greatly improves
Thank you! We can just be in the now and try to find the silver lining in the moment. When my thoughts start going down a negative path, I stay present. This is all we got!!! Oddly enough when the whole thing exploded with the Corona virus I was horrified with fear. I decided to write a letter, if I die due to Corona. Once I put it all in writing expressing my feelings to my family and how to carry my legacy, I slept well afterwards. To me that was the worst case scenario. Morbid but a breakthrough for sure.
That's so intresting. I was just thinking so do I. I start with the if there's nothing I can do to change something why worry about it as though I could. Then if I feel panicky I think what is the worst case scenario. What are the chances of it happening. Then I think if it does I will find the power and strength to handle it as I've done in the past with with help from the One that gives me power and strength.
Hello Joshua. Thank you for this video and all the ongoing inspiration you have given me to rethink aspects of my life for several years now. 🙏 Cheers from France !
Wonderful video Joshua! Just came across it today, July 10th. All we have is now. What time is it? Now. Worried thoughts are negative. I choose to live in the positive, one moment at a time. Make plans, but don't plan the outcome. 😊❤🌻
Worry...God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love & a sound mind. Go with what you know. Easier said than done. Off topic...you, sir, have 1 super head of hair. No joke. From a hairdresser. Keep on fighting the good fight. Thanks for your insight, time & talents. God bless.
I love this so much! You actually helped me complete the puzzle piece! I have mad skills at imagining the worst case scenario .... Im a pro at that.... but now I can wok on completing the step so that actually is productive. I appreciate you so much.
I think this is something that we can all relate to. The pain of losing someone we love seems unbearable. One thing you (or they) can do is to make sure there is life insurance. It won't help with the pain but it can sure make things a little easier if they have it and they do die. I have a friend whose father-in-law died a few months ago just 10 days after he cancelled his life insurance policy. His widow is facing financial hardships. But to get back to your original thought, it is so tough to lose someone. Just one of many reasons to rely on your faith. Life is surely not fair. (hugs)
Sabrina, yes, the fear of losing a loved one, or the fear of dying and leaving my kids without a parent (they already lost one parent to cancer). To me, facing my worst fears doesn't bring any comfort, because I know all too well that these things can happen.
So helpful. Thank you for your service to us all. Can I recommend a great old book? "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" by Dale Carnegie. Actionable recommendations.
Accept reality n think positive always n believe in ur faith that u can overcome the obstacles that come on ur way.trust urself n upon all to the Creator“do ur best n God will do d rest”.stay at home，stay healthy n be safe.
Best to live in the present. The 'What If Story' causes stress, but is it worthwhile - I am not a 'What If' person. Feel minimalism and it's internal changes have been beneficial to my way of thinking plus so much more.
Thanks, is good to know I'm not just a crazy that thinks "here and now is what I have, what can I do with it?" it's a good to now I'm not just a nut case to think line that. Thank you.
These advice were helpful for me . Thanks a loooot Joshua. That is one of my worst mistakes heheheh i always wonder about the future and that makes me feel stressed and weak.hehe Thanks Joshua
I come from an Italian family and I think worry is in our DNA. It is a daily issue for me. Worry and anxiety. We have to figure out what works for all of us individually.
First of all there is no worry gene. Sorry but you shouldn’t vision worst case scenario and give it any energy to possibly create. Nope! 👎🏻 bad idea! You focus your energies on what you are wanting to create and nothing else.

@@1_leoooo you're welcome. I learn from everyone.
@@ilonafriedemann772 I'm so glad. It has helped me greatly.
Yes, he's right!
I cast all of my care on the Lord. Worrying will make you sick.
Your recent videos about dealing with the current circumstances have been so helpful. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and perspective.

You're such a kind person.
Thank you so very, very much!!♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for being so positive, and offering support. We will get through this together and come out stronger.
Thanks- this is such a helpful video for me right now. It’s great to have some practical advice to cope with my worry and anxiety!
Be anxious for nothing, saith The Lord

Matthew 6:25-27 Do not worry. God bless you Mr. Becker.

Both of these strategies are life-changing and I use them both daily. As always, your advice is spot on!

So well spoken, Joshua! Kim, that yellow sweater looks amazing on you 💛!
Thank you for this reminder.
You are so welcome
I love this so much! You actually helped me complete the puzzle piece! I have mad skills at imagining the worst case scenario .... Im a pro at that.... but now I can wok on completing the step so that actually is productive. I appreciate you so much.
Thank you so much! I needed to hear this today! Sending you and your family lots of love and positive vibes :-)
I usually worry about every little thing
But now I don't control any thing so I wait😌💜
Thank you Joshua :)
I like the tips but for me worse case would be someone in my family getting sick and passing away 😞 Not sure how to work through that...

Trust in the Lord! He has never failed and isn't about to. 😃

Thanks, is good to know I'm not just a crazy that thinks "here and now is what I have, what can I do with it?" it's a good to now I'm not just a nut case to think line that. Thank you.
I'm also more of an ”accept and plan for the worst” kind of guy. Often the preparations have paid of in the end.
These advice were helpful for me . Thanks a loooot Joshua.
That is one of my worst mistakes heheheh i always wonder about the future and that makes me feel stressed and weak.hehe Thanks Joshua

100 % 👍
Serenity Prayer
The economy is in almost absolute disrepair, I think now is a good time to worry. Keep in mind not all of us have 6 figure blogs and published books.
Worrying doesn’t help anything. Taking action does.
LOL I was literally just worrying.
Me, worry? Worry is my middle name😵😷😨😷
lol :)
Sadly, me too
Jesus is coming repent and follow him
Wonder what Myers Briggs you and your wife are 😉
First of all there is no worry gene.
Sorry but you shouldn’t vision worst case scenario and give it any energy to possibly create. Nope! 👎🏻 bad idea!
You focus your energies on what you are wanting to create and nothing else.
It's not giving it energy. It's acknowledging it, or giving it a name. Once you understand the fear, you remove the power it has over you.
