\u201cWorry refers the thoughts, images and\u00a0emotions of a negative nature\u00a0in which mental attempts are made to avoid anticipated potential threats.\u201d \u2013 Wikipedia<\/p>\n
Worrying is all about the fear of \u201cwhat might happen\u201d and it is about as useless of a thing as exists!\u00a0 Seriously, worrying does absolutely NOTHING to make any situation better, ever!\u00a0 It truly doesn\u2019t. Yet we somehow all fall prey to letting it creep into our lives. And for what??<\/p>\n
Worrying does nothing but cause stress and anxiety and according to WebMD it also has a major effect on our health.\u00a0 It can cause everything from dizziness to fatigue to headaches and irritability.\u00a0 It can cause muscle aches, nausea, sweating, trembling, and twitching.\u00a0 It can lead to digestive disorders, premature heart disease, and even heart attacks.\u00a0 Holy cow!\u00a0 Talk about serious downsides\u2026with absolutely NO upsides!\u00a0 It should be the most obvious thing ever to not allow worry into our lives\u2026right?!\u00a0 But that is often easier said than done.<\/p>\n
So I decided to look for something that could serve as a reminder to myself that I shouldn\u2019t allow worry into my life and I came across an awesome little saying:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n For every worry under the sun<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n There is a remedy or there is none.<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n If there be one, hurry and find it.<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n If there be none, then never mind it.<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n So perfectly said! So that saying will be my new reminder of the fact that I am no longer willing to worry about things.\u00a0 If something comes up that I want to change and that can be changed or affected then I will do it \u2013 but if something comes up that I have no power to change or affect then I am going to let it go.\u00a0 Because for heaven\u2019s sake why would any of us want to choose to voluntarily cause ourselves all those nasty health issues by worrying about things we cannot change??\u00a0 And frankly, worrying is exhausting!<\/p>\n \u201cWorrying is like sitting in a rocking chair.\u00a0 It gives you something to do but it doesn\u2019t get you anywhere.\u201d \u2013 English Proverb<\/p>\n So today\u2019s challenge is this \u2013 DON\u2019T WORRY, BE HAPPY!!<\/p>\n ~Amy<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cWorry refers the thoughts, images and\u00a0emotions of a negative nature\u00a0in which mental attempts are made to avoid anticipated potential threats.\u201d \u2013 Wikipedia Worrying is all about the fear of \u201cwhat might happen\u201d and it is about as useless of a thing as exists!\u00a0 Seriously, worrying does absolutely NOTHING to make any situation better, ever!\u00a0 It […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3727,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[168,3943,174,500,46,449,5117,637,5121,5120,93,7,65,55,246,5118,3004,713,5116,349,1681,4859,112,426,5119,275,149,516,5115,5114,5113,173,2562],"class_list":["post-5053","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-adversity","tag-anticipate","tag-anxiety","tag-appreciation","tag-attitude","tag-be-happy","tag-digestive-disorders","tag-emotions","tag-english-proverb","tag-exhausting","tag-fear","tag-future","tag-gratitude","tag-happiness","tag-health","tag-heart-attack","tag-issues","tag-mental","tag-nausea","tag-peace","tag-problems","tag-saying","tag-self-improvement","tag-solution","tag-solve","tag-stress","tag-success","tag-thoughts","tag-webmd","tag-what-might-happen","tag-wikipedia","tag-worry","tag-worrying"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amyreesanderson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5053","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amyreesanderson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amyreesanderson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amyreesanderson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amyreesanderson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5053"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.amyreesanderson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5053\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5057,"href":"https:\/\/www.amyreesanderson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5053\/revisions\/5057"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amyreesanderson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3727"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amyreesanderson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5053"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amyreesanderson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5053"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amyreesanderson.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5053"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
