Are you worried?

Understand worry is a waste of time.

Have you ever avoided doing something, because you were worried about what might happen if you did it? Living according to your worries can create problems, because worries deal with what might happen, not what will happen. 

If your worries paralyze you, remember that nothing bad or good will happen without action. You'll never know what might be unless you take some risk. It's true, consequences will occur as a result of your actions, but that's not always a bad thing. Worries only serve to hold you back from reaching your potential. Casting them aside, you'll find the reality is usually much more tolerable than the imagined.

Action for the day: Are worries holding you back and controlling your life? In your journal, make a list of your main worries and explore how you can move past them.

In order for me to remain healthy I cannot afford to 'worry'....

some stuff from the past that will affect my future came up today and I was getting ready to go THERE...u know the place where you worry about things that are out of your control?

Well I stopped and asked is there anything I can do right now about this situation? The answer was no. So I let it go. It is easier for me now b/c I've been practicing this for some time now. It gets easer.
