Wait To Worry

Most of us worry a lot. The more we fret the more proficient we became at it. Anxiety begets anxiety. We even worry that we worry too much! Ulcers might develop. Health could fail. Finances could deplete to pay the hospital bills.

A comedian once said,

"I tried to drown my worries with gin, but my worries are equipped with flotation devices."

Today, decide that you would wait to worry!” Decide that you will wait until you actually had a reason to worry — something that was happening, not just something that might happen before you worry."  "When you are tempted to get alarmed," Tell yourself, you've got to wait to worry!

Until you know differently, don't worry.' Waiting to worry helps you develop the habit of not worrying and that helps you not be tempted to worry."

Ask yourself, what am I worried about this time last year. Because most people can't remember. Then ask yourself what is my current worry.

Did you know that the average worrier is 92% inefficient — only 8% of what we worry about ever comes true?"

Charles Spurgeon said it best.

"Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, but only empties today of its 

strength."

I am a worrier, trying so hard not to worry too much. Wish me luck.
