Can a YoungBloodZ Lyric Be Your Morning Mantra? A Therapist Weighs In.

Let's set the scene. There is a YoungBloodZ track playing through someone's earbuds at 6:47am while they’re getting their morning started. As they pour their coffee they whisper sing, “ Don't start no shit, it won't be no shit.” ( Come on- you know the song, or have at least seen the tik toks).

The question is-- is “Don’t start no shit, it won’t be no shit” a legitimate morning mantra?

As an anxiety and burnout therapist in Maryland, I have thoughts. And so does science. Buckle up — because the answer is, kind of, actually, yes.
