Worry
Worrying about finances
May help me
Tighten my budget
Worrying about leaving
The front door unlocked
May help me
Close it
Worrying about
Whether the sky will fall in
Or
Whether it will rain next Thursday
Spins me into
An unpleasant frenzy
Worrying about some things can be helpful. If they are under our control we may be able to do something different to alleviate our anxiety. Worrying about things that are outside our control is troublesome because there is nothing we can do about them. As the worrying gains momentum we become more and more dysfunctional. As a Catholic priest once told me, "Give these worries to God, and let go of them".
