When we stop worrying , that persistent repetitious thought process that leads to stress and keeps us from being as productive as we can be or more stressed than we need to be – our lives take on a favorable change.
Have you ever noticed as we stop worrying, a solution generally appears?
Remember the times when you told yourself to “sleep on it” and after a nap or another diversion, a feasible solution comes to mind?
Ask yourself
- Does worry make the issue disappear?
- Does worry make it better?
- What purpose does worrying serve?
The new #caregiver you reluctantly hired, that important presentation you are about to make, your or your loved ones retirement or medical benefits, even those lingering holiday pounds are all examples of worry. Knowing that we have prepared properly and asked for support and assistance for those tasks that seem overwhelming enables us to reach solutions to our challenges. Worry is alleviated.
As we think differently about our concerns, our lives and the lives of those around us flow with less effort and more ease. The process of taking action to solve our worries greatly improves the outcome.
Let’s focus on the good. There is always something good in every challenge. We become stronger and wiser. Take the time for #self care. Engage in activities that interest you. If it’s been a while or you have forgotten about those interests, reach out and try something new and different. Visit a new restaurant. Try a yoga class. Get motivated with dance instruction. Revive your artistic talents. Something new is always on the horizon with a cooking class. Explore mentoring in your community or volunteering for those who really appreciate your service.
Remember, don’t worry, be Happy.
Joy and light to you.
