“I am an old man and I have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened” -  Mark Twain

What Is worry? Worry is a very strong feeling of anxiety. It’s fear of the unknown – the thought that the worst will happen.

We may become overly concerned with future events. We may engage in repetitive negative self-talk with all the worst case scenarios. A lot of our thoughts will begin with …

What Do We Worry About?

When it comes to worry, studies have shown the following statistics:

 40% never happens – so in essence we are wasting our time by worrying.

 30% of what we worry about has already happened. Learn to “let go” and forgive yourself and others. You cannot change the past – no one can. Accept it for what it is and go on.

12% are needless worries, such as what someone else thinks about us.

10% are petty and unimportant such as we worry about what’s for dinner, we worry about being late, we worry about what to wear.

8% of what we worry about actually happens. Of this percentage…

4% of our worries that happen are beyond our control. We cannot change the outcome. These worries may include our health, the death of a loved one or an impending natural disaster. Often times the reality of these events are more bearable than the worry.

4% of what we worry about we have some if not all control over the results. Basically I think this is the consequences of our actions or inaction on the problems and challenges we face.

 questions:
◾What are the things you worry most?
 
◾ How to stop worries? How to help your friends who always sad, and worry?
 
◾How many times do we work ourselves into frenzy over a situation that is beyond our control?

◾Why do we allow worry to stress us out so much that we become ill?

◾Why do we waste our mental energy with worry?
