Henway,
Yes, when we can quiet our minds from the thoughts that create this worry…we become so much more present-focused. And that’s a beautiful place to “be”…

Sorry if I am responding so late to this post (just discovered this blog)… It’s a great message for sure, but definitely not easy to follow. Worrying never solves the problem, and just creates needless suffering. I used to be a worrywart, and am learning to be more in the present moment and enjoy the simple things in life… I find worrying is just a preoccupation with either the past or present. It’s hard.. and it doesn’t help that we face enormous pressure everyday from society, our bosses, our parents, our friends, loved ones etc… everyday we’re bombareded with messages on what we HAVE to do, what we HAVE to become, and it’s just a cause of needless worry.

[…] Don’t waste time worrying about the uncontrollable. – “The inevitable… Some things we just can’t control. So, aren’t we better off pushing worry aside? And living our lives. There will be good in our lives. And there will be some bad in our lives. Worrying about any of this is not going to change this fact. What can change these facts are actions, by us.” – via The Jungle of Life […]

Jenny, this is a great song isn’t it! It’s just so upbeat and positive. A “worried worrier” — that’s a mouthful! You’re going in the right direction Jenny…

I love this song! It always makes me smile and I absolutely love the video, in case you don’t know or remember, Richard Moll and Robin Williams are in it and it’s hysterical! Thank you for reminding me about this! I can’t help but worry about a lot of things, in fact I’m a pretty worried worrier but I am starting to learn to worry less.

Liz, yes - it is definitely easier said than done! Once we get into the worry "funk", it's like a vicious cyccle that is hard to break until the thing we were worried about has passed. So, how do I "snap" out of it? Honestly, sometimes I don't (especially if I'm worried about my wife, or one of our children). But sometimes I do - and I do by "doing". "Doing" could be doing something about that thing I'm worried about. Or, if it's something I can't effect - "doing" something, anything, to occupy my mind and take it off that thing that is causing the worry. And sometimes, that works (and sometimes it doesn't)....So, this is a journey for me too, getting to that place where worry really does take a back seat. Keep at it, Liz...it's worth finding what it is that works for you...

What an awesome post! I am the queen of worrying... and I struggle with knowing how to just "snap" out of it. It's definitely easier said than done. Liz Rosenbaum´s last blog post..Boycotting The Clean Plate Club

@Liara — Awareness, that is a key! Being aware that we have a choice — always — is such a huge place to get to. And, knowing that WE have a choice — that WE can decide — is an empowering place to be!

@Suddenly Slimmer — Knowing, really knowing — that you worry — that’s a great first step toward putting that worry energy into something else. You’re on your way — just believe in you…

@Viriya — I’m sorry to hear of your week Viriya. This song is an uplifting one, and that it has helped you in whatever way — is such a wonderful feeling for me. I wish you well, in finding the bright sides that DO exist…

At the moment, I am living in misery. I'm deeply depressed by so many things in the past week. Reading your post while listening to the song helps me a great deal. I think there is always a bright side of any story. I need to take myself out of misery soon! Thank you , Lance. Viriya´s last blog post..Choosing a Job Because of Money!
