Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 Years ago my husband and I went to counceling. He was one of those guys who just didn't enjoy life much...Not the kids, not me, not anything. He always planned for the worst. If we went on any vacation or whatever if we got home it was a good trip. He always said No to the kids because he was so afraid something might happen to them. Anyway the counceler asked him if he was a worrier...he said absolutely! For me it was like a lighting bolt hit me...for some reason it all made sense. She said to ask yourself, while you worry, what can I do about it right now? Usually nothing. If its something you can take care of later, write it down and put it in your pocket. When you take the note out you'll realize you still can't do anything about it. It changed his life...and our marriage...Love, Sue M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 Sunshine, you are so right about worrying. I decided a long time ago not to worry about things I can't do anything about. I do worry, but I can now put it on the back burner. It's so much less stressful! The same techniques that help with pain - i.e. exercise, relaxation, prayer, meditation can also help with worry. Guilt is another good thing to get rid of!!! Take care, everyone, Love Liz __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
