HELP FOR WORRYING
| Sat, 10-28-2006 - 10:50am |
Hi I am a wonderful worrier!! I received this HELP
along with my horoscope today and thought it might also HELP YOU!!
WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE WORRY ABOUT- AJ Cronin a psychiatrist analyzed
worry of his patients he found the following:
--- things that NEVER HAPPEN------ 40% reported this
--- things in the PAST that cannot be changed------- 30%
---- HEALTH worries-------- 12%
----- PETTY worries------- 10%
------ REAL LEGITIMATE WORRIES---- 8%
Imagine the lost energy on things that never happen!!
When worry takes over our lives it can lead to illness---
THIS I KNOW FOR I HAVE THE SHINGLES!! Worrying about something I cannot CONTROL!!
I found this ADVICE Very helpful:
"instead of WHAT IF with bad results THINK OF 3 or more POSITIVE POSSIBLITIES---
after all they are just as LIKELY TO HAPPEN as the negative scenerio you IMAGINE!"
I HOPE THIS HELPS SOME OF YOU THAT WORRY TOO MUCH LIKE ME!! HUGS! Judy

Thx, Judy for posting this info. I am a chronic worrier & can relate to the *things that never happen* category. It is a waste of time & energy. I aim to do better.
I am sorry to hear about the shingles. Please take care & keep a positive attitude. There's no sense in YOU
WE are unreal! I have to say I thought they would be much
worse then they are--- itchy and a little prickly but not all
that bad!! I AM LUCKY! Judy
*I am lucky*
