Why Worry? Ultimatley you have no control over Life! However you do control your own life! So you might worry that you might succumb to a chronic illness waste years worrying over if you have inherited some disease your great granparents had. Then one day you are not watching where you are walking because you are worrying about the 'what if' scenario and get hit by a Bus! I know it sounds silly! I watch my Father take early retirment, buy a nice bungalow less than half an hour from the sea. Three years later he was diagnosed with cancer. Five years later he was dying and would have given anything just to turn back the clock and spend extra time at the sea side, however he was far too busy worrying about getting the garden done, planting the trees, welding metal to make gates and what for? Life is a lot shorter than we think it is, take every day as a new day and live it as if it was your last. If like me you can go to bed and say 'Yep I had a good day today, if I die in my sleep I have enjoyed my life, my Will is made so I will not be leaving a mess for any member of my Family to clear up, then you have reaped the rewards. When you wake up the following morning, hey I was given another day, lets get on with life, enjoy today as if it will be my last and litrally just take it one day at a time. I have Arthritis am 49, was diagnosed at 29 and never thought I would make 30, let alone 35, hey look no way I was going to make 40! Gee I made 45 and no way am I going to make 50 because the Arthritis will get me in the end, except I do not know when that will be. But tomorrow is the first day of my life and if I wake up, you bet I am going to live it as if it is my last day!

If you are religious at all, then you find a way to trust in God and put your life in God's hands. If you have trust, you can learn to let go of the worries and anxieties of life (not that they'll every completely go away), and concentrate on the positive.
If you are not religious, then the same applies, but you try to have faith that at some point life will get better. Living without a religion is okay. Living without hope is death.
Whatever you are worrying about....ask yourself what you can realistically do to change it. If the answer is "nothing; it is a situation I can't change" then the only way to let it go and enjoy life is to DO IT!! Don't let anything take away your happiness! Find a friend to confide in and talk it through.

By realizing that life will happen no matter what you do and you just can't stop it, nor waste all of your time worrying about it. Be as prepared as possible for the worst case scenario as best as you are able and then move on and enjoy life! If nothing happens, great! If something happens, initiate the coping plan, get through it, and go back to life again.

Well, get your mind focussed on something other than the future. Grab some of your friends and go out with them a lot. Just generally spend time together and just get your mind off whatever is troubling you. If you have friends, they'll be there to help and talk whenever you need it. Music also helps when you're feeling down, or you can write down your feelings into a journal or a poem. It usually hopes you feel better.
Just think about the present and don't focus too much on the future.

Worrying will cause alot of problems for you i had a very stressful childhood and im just a worrier, and i am not too much over weight but developed high blood pressure at 27 that was 3 yrs ago.
Just know that worrying will not resolve anythiing, look at all the possitives and relax! if you are an "anxious" natured individual you may wanna try taking a soothing bath with lavendar, lay off any caffiene or stimulants if you do consume any. even try yoga or keeping a journal! these help me cause im a anxious person ill admit it you didnt specifie why you are worrying?? but take care !

Worry and stress just keep you in a constant state of dismay. I have learned that sometimes I just need to pray about a problem and let it go. I believe that God is there to solve the problems and that He can do it. I used to pray about a problem and then worry myself sick about it. I have since learned to trust God. I tell Him the problem and try to let it go and trust Him. There are times that you cannot do anything about a problem and worry will never get you anywhere. It can cause health issues and disrupt your life. Get involved in activities that make you happy. Volunteer your time where you can be of service to someone else and where you will feel that you are doing something worthwhile. Remember that someone else always has it worse than you do and try to remind yourself of the many blessings in your life. Be good to yourself and do the best that you can with what life offers to you.

I'll try and help you.
Worry is a common emotion in all of us.We worry
about any little thing that we don't understand .
IT.S THE NOT KNOWING, causes us to stay
upset.We try to look into the future to find the answerer.but then our mind says ( WHAT IF IT'S
REALLY BAD )
When we have a problem that's coming.don't
worry about it till it happens.
Think good things as you should.relax by reading
a good book.taking a walk.or doing things you
enjoy.smile and do things that makes you feal
good.

Deep breaths, take personal inventory - i know thats a canned line but after i calmed down and took a look at where I was, how I was, and what could possibly be so stressful, i was able to minamalize my suposed problems and take more joy in life. After watching a squirl store acorns all over the yard for the winter, i realized i could break my probs into small managable goals of achievment, one by one.

Live each day as if it were your last. Do what makes YOU happy. (not saying be irresponsible or selfish). Get rid of any toxic relationships or emotional vampires in your life. Do at least one good deed a day, no matter how minor. Smile. Love. Find the extraordinary in the ordinary. Love what you see in the mirror every morning. Smell puppy breath. Email everyone in your address book..I mean actually email, don't forward something; tell them all how much you appreciate them. Sing. Dance. Laugh.

Good question!! Today ,with all the instant news we get thrown at us all day long from every media, it's hard not to become depressed and riddled with anxiety. Talk to someone you know that is in Alcoholics Anonymous. They follow the 12 steps for sobriety that can apply to all of us in our daily lives. It's a tried and true formula. Good Luck
