Words to Live By …

How to stop or minimize worrying:

Here’s some things that work for me …

If it is something i cannot fix or change – make a plan for how it will affect you, implement the plan and forget about it – review and update plan as needed.

Example: I worry about who will be president – fist, there isn’t much I can do about it other than vote which means there’s no reason to fret about it – I know who I will vote for but can’t do anything about it until november – so there’s no reason to take up brainpower worrying – when campaign issues come up in discussions with people, I will respectfully explain my position and urge them to vote for “my guy” … if the other guy wins … there ain’t a damn thing I can do about it … case closed

Example: I worry about the economy – Nothing I can do will change it, I can try to protect myself from its effects by saving money and watching my spending but after that … nothing else I can do about it other than make sure I keep my job or try to get a better paying job.

If it is something I CAN fix or change … then don’t worry about it … DO IT!

Example: I wonder if Mary Likes me? Solution: ASK! … the worst she can say is “No” and if she doesn’t like me, Oh wall, Her loss cuz I’m
