Worrying is torture. Take advantage of available resources & prolong “before it actually happens” worry !

Many times I decide to write on a subject, because of someone who has crossed my path.  Today, I want to talk about folks who pre-worry !

Most often, we “bring” added worry to ourselves that’s not necessary.  It’s human nature to worry unless you’re one of the lucky ones who has kicked that habit ! 

In general, worry is a habit.  It’s something we have allowed ourselves to do, whether you’ve been doing this for years, or it’s over a particular current situations.

Such as before we get on a plane.  Or before an operation.  Or maybe it’s because you thought you should have received an answer by now, so something must be wrong.

I’m NOT suggesting you shouldn’t be cautious over certain situations, nor letting your guard down and being care free !  I’m truly talking about situations you may want to let go, that is going on in your subconscious !

We often torture ourselves for no reason !  This added worry is bringing stress to our bodies, which is harmful !  Not only our blood pressure but to our organs.  And if you have a “mate” or family member or friend who worries over you because of your worry, it’s affecting their body and emotions too !

It can’t be difficult to stop our worry.  But with our “own choices” we can decide to lesson this worry !  Worry is a choice, that we are allowing inside ourselves !

We too often, make stuff up in our mind.  Can be because we don’t actually have the whole facts or because we are just letting our imagination run wild.  You can take control !

“If you knew how powerful your thoughts were, you would never think a negative thought” by Peace Pilgrim quotes. 

Let’s talk about situations that you have no control over.  Though we tend to worry, it’s actually wasted worry … Wasted energy.  For example, maybe your job is about to do a lay off.  Instead of worrying over being without a job and money, choose to use your time and thoughts and picture what you might want to do next with your life. 

Maybe you or someone you know, is about to have some medical test done, over “what could be”.  Again, choose not to think negative before the results are in. 

I’m actually a firm believer that negative thoughts can bring on negativity.  We imagine something bad and that bad actually happens.  This is why I believe we all need to NOT form negative outcomes in our mind. 

For example, I hate snakes.  Often I will picture that snakes will be at a place I am going or in a situation I’m about to be involved in.  I find I do this more at night, when about to go to sleep.  I must quickly shake that thought.  Either I get up and go watch something on TV or I begin to think of something pleasant (change my thoughts).

There are available sources to help you when you find yourself overcome with worry.

So many folks turn to God. “ Help me Lord, to not bring this added worry to myself”.  The words alone do help.  But you must also believe !

Affirmations and positive imagery does help.  “Everything is going to be alright” and then picture this !  When you picture negative, this can get stuck in your subconscious and will continue to bring you down.

Self-Hypnosis is another tool.  Find a place that is quiet.  Begin by relaxing.  Tell yourself, your head is relaxing; your chest; your arms; your stomach; your legs; your feet and toes and ankles.  Sit there relaxed.  Begin to imagine a beautiful scene.  Whether it’s a place you’ve been, like on vacation, or somewhere you wish to be.  Take 15 minutes to an hour and just take yourself to this place.  It allows you to focus on something other than your worry.  And you can include in this Self-Hypnosis, positive affirmations.

Getting the “facts” is another way to help you avoid worry.  So many folks listen to friends or to made up info they have allowed to enter their subconscious, rather than turning to facts. 

Such as, if it’s …

*A medical condition, turn to your doctor or the nurse.
*In reference to travel, call your agent !
*Past bills due, turn to the one you owe !

 

Choose to STOP making stuff up in your head ! 

Choose to STOP turning to the wrong resources for your answers !

And choose to STOP avoiding the answers, by putting off getting the facts !

 

 

FYI ... I'm not suggesting everything will be ok, when you get the factual answers or avoid pre-worry ... I'm only suggesting you put worry off till it's totally real !  Cause everything could turn out ok, and you wasted your energy for no reason !
