Problems and Worry.

One thing I've learned about problems is that they like worry. Worry is a magnet for them. If however we just "let it be," our current worrisome condition well probably not even be part of our life a short time from now. If we worry enough about it however, it will be sure to stick around. Do you feel that this is true?

Hi Pose123!. I think worry more destructing than the problem itself. Its makes you don't have a peace at that moment and think about thats problem all day and cannot focus on other thing. So I think you are right my friend . Have a nice day .

Hi nangisha, You are absolutely right! Worrying about a problem to access will often rob us of the ability to do anything about it. Thanks for your response. Blessings.

I have to be the world's worst worry wart. I can worry about, what, what if, maybe and just about anything. It causes me to deter my intellectual thoughts and fret for hours and days on end. It is part of my nature and no matter how many self help exercises I try I seem to never let go of this habitual habit.

Hi hardworkinggurl, Old habits are hard to break but I'm sure you can see the hurt that all of this worry is doing to you. There is no one things that works for everyone but we all take life much too seriously, try laughing more. Perhaps you could try helping someone who could use some help in order to get your mind off your own worries. Thank you for sharing. Blessings.

there is no problem from being worried. we just have to maintain it and do not get to the point that you are worrying about every little things. for example, it is ok to worry for your child if he/she is not yet home in the usual time he/she is coming home. but you should not worry too much about everything that your child is doing. because they also have their own lives and if there is trust, worries will be reduced.

Hi kmaram, Thank you for commenting and I know what you mean about being concerned over a child and it would come natural to most of us. To worry however only brings on more stress and the more we trust the right outcome the better things are likely to work out. Blessings.

I admire people who face their problems without worrying. Me, too had been used of worrying when there are problems. Now however when there's a problem, I worry less every time I pray.

Hi bing, Thanks for sharing and that is another good point. After you have done all you can, release it or put it in the hands of a higher power, however you happen to believe. It works equally well either way. Blessings.

I don't believe that it is possible for us not to have problems without worry. They seem to go hand in hand. Where problems go, worry is sure to follow. Sometimes we can worry a problem into a frenzy. What might have started out to be a small problem is enhanced by how much we worry about it. If we could just find a way to rid ourselves of worry, we might have less problems.

Hi sender, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Most of us have been programed to worry despite the fact that it always makes the problems loom larger and lessens or ability to solve it. Chronic worriers always appear to have more problems, while those who worry less have less or they handle them much better. Blessings.

Hi kuro, Thank you for commenting but I don't agree with worry and certainly not with war. I'm sure the problem will be solved but worry will only make the problem seem bigger and lessen our ability to come up with practical solutions. Blessings.

Hello my friend, I am probably the world's worst worrier, in fact I do worse, I catastrophize, I take those niggling worries and escalate them! So much so that I give myself sleepless nights, and no doubt it's not doing my internal system much good either. I wish I could practice what I preached, I'd say sit down practically for 10 minutes and do nothing else but worry for that amount of time about the worry you have on your mind. after the 10 minutes has anything changed? NO! Most of the time what I have blown out of proportion has never transpired! So I've wasted energy and stress worrying! and I wonder why my GP prescribed me with anxiety! Me I think I am bordering neurotic if truth be known.

Hi wolfie, Very few people practice what they preach,so don't feel bad. "Physician heal thyself" is a sayings that's been around a long time. Many people can help others but seem able to do little to help themselves. I'd love to be able to help you my friend but you already seem to understand so much. The fact is nothing really matters that much and most of us take life far too seriously. I often think that we'd be better off if we just laughed more. Life is short and a few years from now no one we know will be here and no will remember or care about the things we worry about today. Blessings.

Usually something becomes a problem when we worry too much about something. The best thing to do is to remain calm and look for a solution. We can't solve every problem at once ,so we need to take one step at a time.

Hi Mirita, Very well put, thank you. The more we worry about something, the bigger the problem becomes. We must get busy solving it. Blessings.

OK, Let me think. Hmmmm??? Didn't all my past problems get solved somehow??? What was there to worry about??? Perhaps one should just concentrate on solving those pesky problems. I have discovered all the what if's never happen anyway.

Hi bird, A great response as usual, thank you. It is the what if's that causes most worries also the fear of something happening can help bring it to reality. Blessings.

I must admit the fact that I can't avoid of being in worry to the extent of being pessimistic. That is why I am trying my best to solve my problems so that I could be able to lessen all my worries. As they say that we should be a warrior not a worrier.

Hi Metatronik, Thank you for responding and you make a good point, it's much better to get to work solving the problem than to sit and worry about it. Blessings.

Problem and worry both are indispensable, they both walk together hand in hand. If you happen to meet them they both hug you together, and do not wish to part. Best thing you can do is to avoid them.

I guess it is a natural reaction for everyone to have when encountering a problem, or worrying about the unknown. However I have learnt that there is always a solution for the worse problem, we just need to research or think about it, or even consult others. Trying to find a solution or even trying out the different solutions are better than sitting around worrying about the problem.

Hi bluemoonpavilion, My thoughts exactly, get busy solving the problem or let it go. Worry causes more problems. Thanks for responding. Blessings.

Hi Reneelao, Thank you for sharing. My thoughts are that we need the problems but not the worry. Instead of worrying, which does no good, we should get busy finding ways to solve our problems. Blessings.
