Worrying.

I try to ignore it if possible. Think of life's good aspects.

Yes money or lack of it is a main worry because we need it to live the way we should and want. Unless of course we lived on a dessert island and caught our own food. I hope you are not worrying too much. Thank you - l love choosing the photos.

@Kandae11 Not too much, I have to take meds to stop worrying.

@RebeccasFarm l suppose like anxiety pills? Everytime l hear of a dangerous hurricane approaching l tell myself l should keep some at hand.

Yes indeed.

@Kandae11 I understand that.

I have an only child and l do worry about him.

That aspect of worrying can definitely bear fruit.

@porwest Then there is the retrograde aspect of it. Like - l never learned to ride a bike, l was afraid of falling. I never climbed a tree, same reason. My sister did those things and had bruises to show which could be a bad thing or a good thing. In our early years we lived on an island surrounded by water so my mother kept us away from it - l still don't know how to swim...

@Kandae11 It always depends on what is being worried about. It can be productive or debilitating depending on the situation. If I worry that there may be bad drivers on the roadway with me, I might be more vigilant and drive more carefully. If I worry that my job might be compromised, I may perform my job better and be more aware of what I need to do to protect it. If I worry that my child may fall off the edge of a cliff, I may be more inclined to keep them farther away from the edge. I would then say, sometimes worrying DOES make a difference because it can make us step back and have a different perspective on things we might not have if we didn't care.

Continue doing what you did to get it under control in the first place and do research to get other ideas of what else you can do. Worrying usually makes our ailments worse . The fact that it is an occasional small pain you are feeling now means that it could disappear permanently with the right diet and treatment. Don't worry, look for a solution.

@grenery8 Did you see the post l did "Pain, pain go away"?

@Kandae11 it says online it can disappear but when it appears again, i then figure out it came again, which is not cool for me. i have physiatrist meeting at the end of september but you're pretty much on your own. i ask but answers are not satisfying and doctors here don't work that hard. also, i hate the saying you can live with it. of course i can but why won't they make it easier. i think you're right, stress made it worse but as for exercising, i am still discovering it, sadly, after 2 years and on my own. i also started buying more vitamins, which i didn't do it before. thank you for your support.

I agree, the future can be very worrying.

Even when we believe there are some situations where our input is needed - "God helps those who help themselves". One can't sit around and expect " manna to fall from heaven". When we believe , we do our part and God will do the rest to help us succeed.

Apart from mental, too much worrying can actually cause physical ailments.

Oh yes, l understand . I would worry too if l was house-sitting.

I do the same think. Try to find a solution for the worst case scenario, then put it out of my mind.

Awesome.

Having our independence makes a big, big difference in how we face the world.

It can be controlled.
