“Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create.” ~ Roy T. Bennett

Make it a No Worry Day
Worrying about what will happen won’t change what will happen. Concentrating on what is important today and how it affects tomorrow has significantly more influence on will happen than worrying about what will happen ever will. So, let tomorrow take care of tomorrow. Do your best today and tell the worry visiter you have no room in your mind for him/her to hang out.
Worry, Worry, Worry
What good is worrying? It must do something good because most of us spend part or even all of our days worrying. We worry about what to wear. We worry about getting some job done. We worry about getting somewhere and then, when we’re there , we worry about what to do while we’re there. Worry, worry, worry. Perhaps someone should write a book telling us how to worry. We could all read it and perfect our worrying. If I could perfect my worrying, I wouldn’t have to worry if I am worrying the right way. If worrying were a muscle builder we’d all be buff. It’s not, that’s okay, we can worry about not being buff. Does worrying make sense?
Worry Does Not Make Things Better
“If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a past or future event, then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system.” ~ William James

Feeling Good Tip of the Day ~ Learning to be Flexible About the Future
Worried About the Future?
So many of us struggle with the uncertainty of the future—we want to know when, where, and how things will happen. We make plans and want to see them through in the exact way we had envisioned them. But as much as we try, we can’t always plan for the exact timing of things or how they will unfold. Life happens, and there are external factors that make it impossible for us to have complete certainty about the future.
Whether it’s a global pandemic, losing a job, or a family member becoming sick, sometimes we must pivot and take things as they come. This isn’t to say that our goals and pursuits are not worth pursuing, but that we need to practice having more cognitive flexibility—a mental shift that encourages us to be more open to the fluidity of life and timing.While we might not know what the future holds, we do know that we are breathing and alive and that there are things we do have control over—things we can do to take care of ourselves and cope with uncertainty.
