I definitely can't control something happening to myself, my kids, my family members. I see way too often freak accidents which cause people's deaths. Most recently I think about a man killed driving to work under another highway. Did he wake up that morning thinking a tractor trailer was going to drive off the overpass and land on him and kill him?

I'm trying to take it one day, one month, one year at a time. I'm trying to not worry so much that I can't enjoy myself and the time I finally have to travel.

I worry all of the time. If it's a topic you can worry about, I'll worry. Sometimes I downright scare the heck out of myself worrying. The thing is, even if the outcome is as bad as we worried it might be, the worrying ahead of time didn't lessen the dealing with whatever we worried about. Umm did I confuse you?

I think we all worry in one way or another, but there seems to be a lot of shame attached to worrying so we don't talk about it. It's something that is too often dismissed with advice such as "you think too much, just relax, calm down, chill out, blah blah blah" - which can just make it worse because then we worry about worrying too much. I think that the Anthony Robbins "self-help" industry just adds to this myth that if we aren't able to surpress our anxiety with our own positive self-talk, then there is something wrong with us. Anyways, this post has inspired me to write my own about the shame attached to worrying. I'll link back here when I'm done. Thanks! - G Thanks for writing this.

I pretty much worry about the same things you do: my family and our well-being, finances, and I have to admit, I still worry that I'm gonna screw up this whole motherhood thing, but that's as bad as it used to be.

I find dreaming much more enjoyable than worrying. Daydreaming is pretty good too.<br>Honestly, I understand worrying about your family and your responsibility. It sounds like you know the answer but worry about it being right. You know if our bodies didn't feel any pain we would all be hurting ourselves, so maybe worrying is the way we prepare for the future. Everyone needs some worry but too much and it becomes too controlling.<br>I don't mean to appear like I know what I'm talking about - it's just my opinion.

I have the rare gift, handed down from my dear mother, to worry about the most insane, out of this world, miniscule things. Like: oh no, Kaiya is running down the street... what if she falls down and a sinkhole opens up and she is SWALLOWED BY THE EARTH. Rather than the more obvious: what if she get hit by a car? I made a resolution to not worry. Then I worried about keeping it. I consider myself an excellent worrier.
