I Worry Too Much

All For Naught

By: Lucidblue
Written on September 21st, 2010
My Mom taught me this wonderful skill of worrying...I completely blame her for teaching it to me, but I blame myself for continuing to do so. Worrying is so exhausting...I lose focus, I lose sleep, I lose motivation. And as it so happens, it always turns out to be all for naught.

My worries are always unfounded, and it's always my head that gets running away from me. In my heart I know the truth, but my head is going off on varied tangents that I feel like I can't control, but I KNOW that I can. For some stupid reason, I choose not to control it, and I just go on my whims and I worry.

Stupid worrying....I hate it!

    The funny thing is that I am logical enough to know that everything you say is true, I knew it before....but somewhere something takes over that logic and I worry. I fully realize it and acknowledge it...but such is my laundry list of things to change! lol It's in the queue! hehe

    Then you are worrying for things that do not exist. They never have existed and are unlikely to ever exist. This may give you a handle on the origin of the worry ... and to help you to grip it before it rules you. Here's hoping you seize it in time.

    Do you worry out of guilt or out of anxiety ?

    Nope! I know that it's completely irrational! It's merely a learned habit that I have to change!

    Yes, I though you would reply that. ..... so, in your feelings ... do you think your worrying would ever change the outcome in any way ?
