Worry is about the future. We want the future to turn out a certain way, and we worry that it won’t. Well, action dissolves worry.

When we take action, we feel a sense of agency. Our actions affect things, sometimes in a very tangible way.

The feeling that we can have an affect brings with it a feeling that we can influence the outcome, that we can influence tomorrow.

If we feel that we can influence the outcome, then we can be hopeful and confident about the future.

Of course, taking action is no guarantee of a good outcome. There’s never a guarantee of a good outcome, but taking action is one of the best antidotes to worry that I know of.
