Certain birth months are more prone to this cycle of future-oriented worry. These people think ahead, plan ahead, and sometimes suffer ahead, playing out emotional scenarios of every possible outcome in their minds long before reality begins to unfold. If you’ve felt like your mind is stuck three steps into the future, your birth month might be on that list.

January
People born in January are the type to prepare for the worst case scenario. I’m the modern equivalent of the grandfather who hid money in mattresses and curtains in case the banks closed. They always put something away, save, stockpile and try to have a contingency plan. Food, water, hygiene products, money, supplies—whatever it is, they feel like there must be more than they could ever need, because somewhere in their minds they wait for the day when nothing will be available.
Organization and the ability to be prepared are to be appreciated, but the intensity with which those born in January anticipate future hardships can do more harm than good. I live under far more stress than is necessary or, frankly, than I can handle. No matter how hard he tries, it never seems enough. They never feel that disasters can be kept at bay just because they have built safety nets. This week, it’s worth asking what all this effort is worth if, in the end, their quality of life isn’t really better.

The solution
For those born in January, the key is to differentiate between preparation and excessive control. It’s good to have savings, plans and reserves, but it’s not healthy to constantly live as if disaster is at your door. Try to set a clear boundary: “I’ve done what I can for my safety, now I’m allowed to live.” A useful exercise is to write down on paper what is real now and what is just an imagined scenario. When the mind starts racing toward the worst ending, bring it back to the present: What can I actually do today without burning myself out?
