Most people don't think worrying really does any damage. Sure it's a pain in the butt, but when it comes down to it everyone does it with major surplus. It's not something that will kill you, if you don't have worries people treat you like you're irresponsible. That's a bunch of crap.
Think about it.....I mean really stop and think. What does worrying get you? A headache, a major case of depression and for what? NOTHING!!!!!!!! Worrying is a complete waste of time and life!
Don't freak out I'm not saying that you should throw your bills out the window and let your kids run around naked doing God knows what with only God knows who.
Morning coach, a podcast I listen to on a regular basis explained it beautifully. If you worry about something and it doesn't happen you've wasted all that time worrying and if you worry about something and it does happen, it was going to happen you're worrying didn't change anything.
That's totally true. People waste their time worrying about tons of stuff, bills, kids, work, marriage. All this does is depress you making you not want to do anything to fix the situation. You just want to hang around and feel sorry for yourself, cursing the world and everyone else for your problems. Come on get a life!
Things happen, you're not the only one going through tough times. In fact there are people out there who have it much worse than most of us.
Recently I found out just how bad things had gotten for my parents. My dad, being the owner of a small siding business has been depressed for awhile. Not doing much besides holding down the mattress. Business has been slow, we're behind on bills, and sure it's depressing when you think about it I suppose. But when you step outside the picture and look at it as a spectator things aren't as bad as they seem. Tons of families have lost their houses already, we're behind but still here! An insanely large number of business have shut down. Business might be slow but it's still there! All worrying got them was a couple months of wasted time. It didn't change out financial situation, it didn't suddenly bring in more business, it didn't fix all our problems.
Things happen, thats life! You just have to take it in stride and not worry so much. Whatever the outcome may be, it's already set to happen worrying isn't going to change that.
I've decided to practice what I preach and I'm going to stop worrying so much. After all it's kind of a suck way to live your life always worrying about every little thing.
