Simplified Meaning:
When you're constantly thinking about your worries, they start to control your life. Imagine you're scared of speaking in public. If you keep thinking about that fear, you might avoid opportunities or feel nervous all the time, meaning your fear is controlling you. It's like letting your worries be the boss of your thoughts and actions. To take back control, you need to address your worries directly instead of letting them dictate what you do. For example, if public speaking scares you, you could practice speaking in front of friends, which helps decrease the fear. By facing your worries, you can prevent them from ruling your life and feel more confident and free.
