I spend a lot of time researching ways to live a healthier and more-balanced life. I hope to share tips and tricks that have proved successful for me.Eat. Pray. Love. -- Give up worry
Worrying can have many negative effects on a person -- emotional, physical and mental. I came across this article today, and it really spoke to me: Give up Worry by Recognizing it as a Bad Habit - How to Put Boundaries Around Worry- Beliefnet.com. It outlines some guidelines for dealing with worry:
- Control worry, don't let it control you.
- Differentiate realistic concern from worry.
- Keep lifting even when the weight feels too heavy.
- Focus on just the facts: Knowledge is power.
- Remember: Worry doesn't keep you safe.
- Don't "what if" off a cliff.
- Think in the "for-now," not in the "for-ever."
- Be a scout: Be prepared.
- Wear your invisible shield (confidence).
