Have I been super productive this week? Yes! Has it been helpful to my mental health? Questionable.

Here are some resources:
The Worry Trick: How Your Brain Tricks You into Expecting the Worst and What You Can Do About It
A Spring Within Us: A Book of Daily Meditations
Everything Happens for a Reason and Other Lies I’ve Loved
The Cognitive Behavioral Workbook for Anxiety: A Step-By-Step Program
