I used to worry about everything!
I think Betty and I would be going head to head for the Queen of worry contest! But, I have finally come to realize that worrying only gives credence and power to the negative things, so now I try very hard to constantly see the great outcome I am looking for. I say try, because worrying is a habit that is totally ingrained, and it takes time and lots of 'scooping' out of the old. You have to constantly (at first) concentrate on what good can come of any situation, and when the bad slides in, notice it fast and nip it in the bud! Now I find the bad scenarios slip fast through my mind, and then I smile at all the good things I see happening instead. Less tums!!!

Betty, does all that worrying do you any good? I have MANY, MANY concerns. I do what I can, as I can. If I allow these concerns to run my life, I would never get anything done. What is that prayer of acceptance? Something about "change what I can & accept what I can't?" Just a thought. Betty, I believe that what Don is trying to recall is: "God grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, courage to change the things we can, and wisdom to know the difference." And this makes sense. Worry gets you nowhere... and it does that quickly.. |

I was 50 years old when I finally figured out that worrying justs makes you stress out. I still have to make a concious effort, but I think if I still allowed worry to run my life I would probably be dead of a heart attack by now. With being unemployed for a year with a son to take care of, and of course all the money worries, along with my other children having issues in their lives,my toes would be tickling daisies. Of course, laughter helps, and you have a great personality and sense of humor, so I know that helps alot! Everytime something bad happens, force yourself to see something good about it, or how you could turn it into a story to make others laugh. That helps.

Yes, I also started asking myself, will this matter next week, month, or year? that puts things in perspective for me and stops the angst. |

You guys are great..thanks!!
Shasta I think I worry about my kids and some friends.The worry I have for my kids I think is more fear of anything ever happening to them, so when they get sick or go on a trip I think I actually do have anxiety,although I am not sure of the differance. But hey that pays off...cause when they go away they take me with them I'm just kidding about that!!

Betty, does all that worrying do you any good? I have MANY, MANY concerns. I do what I can, as I can. If I allow these concerns to run my life, I would never get anything done. What is that prayer of acceptance? Something about "change what I can & accept what I can't?" Just a thought. It doesn't do a bit of good Don. And usually it goes unappreciated as well. So you all are right! With the exception of my kids I will do my best to "knock it off" Cause you are right!But asking me not to worry about my kids is like telling me not to breathe! |
