One of the most stressful activities in our lives is worry.
Worrying accomplishes very little that is constructive in your life, yet humans do it constantly.
Part of the reason we worry is that it gives us the illusion that we are in control.
Worrying connotes a need to control and a lack of self-trust.
Your need to worry will significantly diminish when you decide to be responsible for your life alone, concentrate on living in the present and know that you will either be able to handle whatever comes up in your life or you will know how to get the help you need.
Just allowing yourself to know that you are in charge of your life will significantly decrease your need to worry.
As you gain more and more control over your life your worrying will diminish.
From now on, when you find yourself worrying, ask yourself "Can I do something about this?" If the answer is "yes" then do it, and if the answer if "no" then don't waste your time worrying about it.
Take a deep breath in and as you exhale, relax your body and say to yourself, "There is a small possibility that this will turn out okay even though I can't control it.
" And do your best to believe it! Learn to trust yourself and your feelings by acknowledging yourself each time you are "right".
There are a lot more of those times than you think and giving yourself a pat on the back for making good choices will bring that "rightness"to your awareness very quickly.
