I kind of go in cycles. Sometimes, I let things go easily (or at least I appear to), but other times I get worked up about things. I think that sometimes I don’t REALLY let things go…and that’s why it builds up and I get to worrying!

I pray, pray, pray. I hate to admit that worrying is part of my nature but I pray on reversing that. It just doesn’t change anything!

i think it’s normal to worry, but it’s not healthy. faith and hope and action is what we need to guide us 🙂

Actually, no, I’m not a worrier, and that pisses everybody off. My best friend, my mother, everybody. But the thing is, my mother and my best friend are so good at worrying that I just let them handle it when the time comes…

I used to be a worrier. I think it’s tough not to be at time because of all the responsibilities that come with adulthood and womanhood. I’ve gotten A LOT better. Try not to sweat the small stuff and really focus on what’s the come and all the good that I have in my life in the present moment.

Yes I am a worrier. I have never heard this before either. Very interesting!

I worry about the big things, but not the small stuff that won’t matter in a month or a year. I’d rather ignore them 😉

I used to be a worrier. Now I know that things will fall into place how they are supposed to be. It really is all good in the end.

I am a big.time.worrier. I’m trying to change that and I think I’ve been gotten a little better after I realized control is an illusion. Thanks for that quote – I needed a reminder.

I had a similar conversation with someone very recently regarding my own tendency to “catastrophize” things. I was advised that doing this, especially in front of my kids who might be trying to work on their own issues, is not healthy for me or for them. Good words of advice. One thing that always goes on in my head is that I try real hard not to think of my life as though I was the heroine of a telenovela. Also good words of advice. Keep up the super work!!

Of course you can use the image, just give me a link-back.

I don’t find it strange that you have a half done post about this. We seem to have a few parallels when it comes to thoughts. Great minds…
I have to say this is a lesson I have to keep learning, but I was really proud of myself this time around because I found it so much easier than usual to just let go of the worry and even when my husband brought up the situation with words that would normally set me off, I was very much like, “It’s going to be fine no matter what and I’m just not going to worry about it.” And it was beyond fine.

I am basically a non-worrier and it really drives my mother insane. She doesn’t understand how I can go by without worrying. I don’t know exactly why I don’t worry as much as she does… I just go with the flow of whatever, when I can. I find that is usually the best way to handle stuff. And I also don’t see the point… like you said it’s a waste of time and energy when in the end it might have been for nothing!

I recently realized I’ve gained some weight. I don’t know how much, but my jeans aren’t coming up as easily as it ought to, and yes, now, I am worrying a little about my trip. Are people going to notice? Are people going to secretly think “My god, look at her!” but at the same time, I know they probably WILL think that, but that doesn’t mean they don’t like or love me. I say… if it bothers them, let THEM deal with their feelings… its their worry and their energy. I know what I need to do to take care of the problem and I will get to it, when I get to it. Pfft.

I got my treat in the mail!!!! Thank you, and I will blog about it when I get back! 🙂
