So... What are you worried about?

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its problems....

 

It robs today of its strength.

 

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its problems...it robs today of its strength.

So... What are you worried about?

Here is a sample list of the worries that I hear from my clients:

~ If my car, house, yard, etc. is a mess people will think I am a slob

~ If I don't do al the household chores myself, nothing will be done properly

~ If I let someone else do the yard work, it won't be done the way I like it.

~ If I don't volunteer, no one else will, and it will never get done.

~ The bills!  The bills!  I can't pay the bills!

~ I worry that the kids will, come down with a horrible disease.

~ I worry that my spouse or the kids will have something horrible happen to  

   them.

~ I worry that the kids will be kidnapped or assaulted.

~ You worry that a disaster will befall your family, community, or country.

 

This is a short list.  I bet that many of you could come up with a list of 50 to 100 more things. 

 

Dealing with sorry can be handled on a worry to worry basis, and perhaps in the future we will handle some of the above subjects.  For now, lets take the list as a whole.  Use the simple suggestions below and apply them to whatever it is you are worried about.
