Do you worry a lot?

[Cataholic]

Well, I used to be a worrier. I hate to say it, but it's true, with age comes wisdom. Sometime in my 30's I realized that I worried obsessively about things that never happened. And the disasters that did happen were out of the blue. Never saw them coming. About that time, I stopped being a worrier. I decided it was a waste of time because the things I worried about never happened and I had to conserve my energy for the things that did happen.

How very true. I do think it is a conscious decision one must make, and a realization that you cannot control everything. I think most people worry because they feel a powerless sensation over a situation. At least by worrying about it, they can 'own' it.

What sometimes goes unnoticed is the power you DO have over a situation, by action. Not by worrying, but, by action. And, many people are afraid to take the responsibility of action.
I cannot even begin to count the people I know with the dreaded "what if" disease. It makes me very tired just listening to them.


Just my .02.

I worry so much especially at work when trying a new style on a dog I always convince myself I'll do a snip wrong and mess up the whole haircut! The thing is that the dog picks up on you feeling worried and makes it all worse for you to keep the dog still to scissor in the first place Im getting better but still need to improve alot!
