I Want To Stop Worrying

I Worry A Lot..

By: Saathshine
Written on February 1st, 2013





I am at a point in life where my entire day can be filled with worry as so many things are not in place. I try to keep my focus on positive things in my life and keep moving. But do I really get away from worry? Everyone points me to meditation and starting today I am hoping to focus more on meditation. Do you worry? What are your worries?
My list is endless...
I don't want to be married to the wrong person for wrong reasons.
I don't want to be left alone, I want to love and be loved.
I don't want be stuck in a dead end career, with no growth or learning.
I don't want to be left struggling with my dreams and desires, I want to see those dreams come true.
I want to do so much more but my fears and worries keep me locked in one place.
What do I want to do? It is so fluid. I want to work with celebrities, as a therapist in LA or Hollywood area, and eventually work with one of my clients to write a script and make a movie. Or many movies. So do I want to be a film producer and director like Steven Spielberg? Its a dream, and it worries me that will I ever get over this dream and live a fulfilled life.

Mostly I just want to be Happy. Just simply Happy. Be calm, relaxed, and Happy.
Will my worries stop and will I be Happy?
Time will tell....

    Seems like going through any honest confession. Good that U r honest enough.

    Now smile n keep marching ahead with dreams

    coz

    being Indian, U'd have heard... Chintaa Chitaa samaan hai...Chintaa zindaa ko aur Chitaa murde ko .........

    Take a chill pill

    n

    keep marching ahead with zeal enough.

    You may at times check Geetaa Saar as well inspite of the gap of 16 years.

      Right.
      :)
      I specifically framed in that order
      coz
      each time heard the '16 years' phrase from U. Thought of changing the trend a bit. It did work!!!!!!!!

      Just got the translation done of chinta which is worry and Chitaa which is funeral. Worrying is like having a funeral. So don't worry your funeral is not yet here. Something like that.

    JoeysGoddess is right. If I feel worry over the oven breaking down I thank my stars that it broke down after the chicken was cooked and at least now I get a new one and don't have to clean the old one ;) so what if we use a bit more of the savings, I just won't buy any jeans for a few weeks and that will make my husband happy too. Win win!

    If my husband is shouting because he can't find something I don't worry about how different we have become or how much of a stranger I am now married to, I thank myself that I know where the missing item is, I thank myself that I have my iPod to shut him out, i plug myself into it and do a little dance around him. Lifts the whole mood (because my dances are funny)

    No matter how small see the good in everything and everyone. Do it often enough and it will become natural.

    I have a suggestion...maybe you have tried it..maybe you haven't... but here is what I personally try to do when I am having a stressful/worrisome moment...

    Stop what I am doing and try to take a look at the big picture of the situation, ask myself does worrying about it help or solve ANYTHING?.. most of the time it doesn't. Then I try to look at my situation from the outside.... look at it from another person's view.... and finally... I try to find the humor in it. I find for myself, making light of things and laughing at myself can ease the pressure. There is so much in this world that is out of our control... something its good to remember all the fun and silly stuff we DO have control over.
