Stop worrying essay

Worry reflects a lack of faith in oneself and in other people to do things that need to be done when they need to be done, and a lack of trust that we'll be able to deal with difficulties when they surface in our lives.

There are people who seem to make a life out of worrying, who can't look at anything going on in their lives without finding cause to think that the worst of everything is going to happen, and that it's going to happen to them or to those they love--or both.

It is not work that kills us; it is worry. Work is healthy and you can but worry is the rust upon the blade. Mental problems feed upon the attention you give them. The more you worry about them, the stronger they become. If you ignore them, they lose their power and finally vanish. The more we worry--the more we have something to worry about.

Worrying comes when we think of negative future possibilities. It's that simple--we spend time and energy thinking about negative things that could happen, not that have happened. And therefore the energy that were expending usually is wasted because those negative things tend not to come about after all.
