Transcript excerpt:

Telling yourself "stop worrying" is like telling yourself "don't think about a white bear." Congratulations — now it's all bears. Suppression fails because your brain treats unfinished worries as open loops it must guard.

Scheduling flips the script. When you give worry a real appointment — five minutes, same time daily — your brain finally believes the loop will get attention, so it loosens its grip the other 23 hours and 55 minutes. This lesson shows you the evidence, and your contract makes it official.
