The Antidote To Worry

I used to worry about stuff happening in my life and my work for days and weeks. Actually the truth be known, it could sometimes be months of ruminating, stewing and worrying. Worrying’s not all bad. It can be helpful to motivate us to take a positive action, but excessive worry is debilitating.

There are some simple things we can do to work with our worries, emotions and thoughts and lessen their impact. Would it surprise you to learn that we don’t have to change anything at all or fix anything in our selves?

When you stop looking, you'll find it.

When you stop looking, you'll find it.

There was a time when I'd lose something or something would get lost, like a house key or my glasses. I'd worry about memory loss, wrack my brains trying to find whatever I lost and usually never could.

A causal search would swiftly turn into a frantic search. I'd get others involved in my quest, like my partner, and spread my frustration and panic onto them. And yes, I may have even gone a little berserk. 

Slowly but surely this has changed over the years.

It's not that I don't still lose things, it's that I'm more likely to let things be. When I lose something, one of the first things I do now, is I intentionally say to myself, "It will show up, I know it will." 

And you know what? It always does.
