Canadian Author Equips Moms to Break the Habit of Worry and Parent From a Place of Peace
“Don’t Let What If? Ruin What Is” by Alison Brown Now Available
WATERLOO, ON – April 26, 2023 – We’ve all heard the phrase ‘‘Moms don’t sleep. They just worry with their eyes closed.’ For years, Listowel, ON author, women’s health expert and mom, Alison Brown, lost sleep while her mind jumped to every worst-case scenario. She had become a self-professed chronic worrier. In the pages of her new book, Don’t Let What If? Ruin What Is (WestBow Press, February 2023), Brown shares how God heard her desperate prayer on a turbulent flight and answered it by setting her free from her habit of worry – enabling her to live and parent from a place of peace, instead.
“Logically, we know that most of the things people worry about don’t ever happen. Knowing this should bring some comfort and peace, but if you’re a chronic worrier, knowing this doesn’t put the fire out,” said Brown. “In fact, nothing will unless you’re willing to fan the flame into a whole new fire.”
In Don’t Let What If? Ruin What Is, Brown shares her deeply personal battle with worry and what she has called the FIRE process; Faith, Inner Work, Real Food and Exercise to give readers the tools they need to break the habit. Instead of feeding a fire of worry that can steal inches from our lives, Brown has chosen to feed this new fire of faith, self-healing, food and exercise. This new fire doesn’t allow space for worry to grow.
“We are living in a time of uncertainty and fear, and too many people are not only living their lives with anxiety and worry but are incapacitated by it,” said Brown. “I firmly believe that our struggles can teach us and others so much. Once we’ve gone through a tough time or overcome something difficult, we need to look back and help the next person who may be struggling with the same thing. That’s my hope for Don’t Let What If? Ruin What Is – that it would help other moms who worry as I once did.”
