NewNiceMrMe Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Here's an interesting one. Our 13 year old asked what we worry about tonight. Hmm. Interesting question. So, what do you worry about? In my case it's fairly straight-forward stuff and only two things that I think I actually 'worry' about: - health - children's safety blah blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser647 Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I do my very best not to worry. Worrying does not achieve anything. However, near payday, I occasionally worry about the size of the overdraft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beez Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 At the moment I'm worrying about the friendship with my soon-to-be housemates. I'm not sure if it's strong enough to have us living together anymore. We seem to have drifted apart somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Or is it consulting the past in order to worry about the future (i.e. making sure you don't make the same mistake, or make sure something you did in the past doesn't catch up with you in the future, etc.) Better off worrying about the 'now', being as the future won't ever happen (cos when it does, it happens 'now'). In fact, better off not worrying at all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A3Floyd Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 I'm not a natural worrier really. I reflect on the past like anyone else does but I dont let it concern me too much cos it's done and dusted and there's nothing that can be done to change it. I dont 'worry' so much about the future, I do think about what could happen and where i may be, etc. in 5-10 years time but i firmly beleive that if you keep a positive head, you'll not go far wrong. Sure, I may lose everything, the house, the car, etc. but i'm not fussed about that as my only concern is having my family around me. If we can stick together, we can get through anything. So i suppose the only thing that I worry about it the health of my family. It's not worth worrying about money as there's always a solution to financial problems even if it means going bankrupt.

felixthecat1 Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 I don't actually worry about anything. I do my best to sort things so that I don't have to worry. Anything else is out of my control and best not worried about. Sounds harsh I know but I only got this way after worrying too much and nearly doing something very stupid.

CarMad Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 I worry a lot less now than when I was younger, and I am not old now. Some things you just can't control so whats the point of worrying. Current worry is looking for a new job. Want a change and a new challenge, not really worried about anything specific in relation to a move, I can sell myself. More what the new job is going to bring into my life, stress / joy / too much travel, who knows. On the whole nothing evers stays the same for very long, so try not to let change worry me too much whenever possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A3Floyd Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Thats the best way - I remember doing a stress management course and they taught me the most useful bit of information, i think it was called the circle of influence. Basically, you write down all of your concerns/worries and then decide what of those concerns you can influence and what you cannot influence. The idea is that you shouldn't waste any time worrying about the things that you cannot influence and just concentrate on the things that you can influence. It works really well.
