Comments on: What? Me worry?! http://mizfitonline.com/2008/09/29/what-me-worry/ Because Fitness Isn't About Fitting In Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:03:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Kara from MamaSweat http://mizfitonline.com/2008/09/29/what-me-worry/#comment-14702 Kara from MamaSweat Thu, 02 Oct 2008 12:10:23 +0000 http://mizfitonline.com/2008/09/29/what-me-worry/#comment-14702 Ugh, the problem with catching up with my blog friends at the end of the week is that you often miss the messages you need. I needed this Monday as I was gearing up with worry before my sonogram Wednesday. My worry was wasted. Despite being "elderly multipara" they couldn't find a darn thing wrong with this babe. And the gratitude? Freakin' overwhelming. This post helped bring back to my consciousness one of my favorite sayings I memorized so so long ago: "Hold thought steadfast to the enduring, the good, and the true and they will enter your life proportionate to the occupancy of your thoughts."

It sounds kinda like the strategy I use when I think about something negative -- I immediately try my best to think about something positive, too. Like when I wake up and dread going to work. First thought: "Woe is me." Second follow-up thought: "At least I'm not digging ditches in the hot sun today." That’s a great quote.

Laura, I hadnt thought much about that until you posted your comment.
not the crisis (Ive thought a great deal about that) but that THAT could have been a subconscious trigger for me.

it’s precisely the kind of worry I meant.
the larger, overarching, NOT MUCH WE CAN REALLY DO ABOUT IT worry.

thanks,

I leave that to my Type A ambitious go-getter husband. I'm more the laid-back go-with-the-flow type. I only worry if I am currently running late to pick up my kid from the bus stop or something (he's too little to go home alone). Even then I'm not that worried because I know one of my friends or the bus driver will look after him until I arrive. Still, loved the quote. I do go through brief periods of worry (I'm only human) and I know I'll need that quote stored somewhere in the back of my brain next time that happens. I’m one of the not-worrying types.

I do believe I've heard it before, but it just now hit me. Hello, law of attraction!!! So true, and I am going to be more conscious of my thoughts and worries from now on....or perhaps less conscious of my worries :) xo, -Bex Ding…light bulb just went off…thanks for the share.

With every possibility, my thoughts will draw up a possibility of failure immediately. I think it's something I learned from my parents. I see them doing still. It's something I hope to weed out of my thoughts. So with every negative thought, I try to reverse it into something positive. It most certainly resonates with me.

I was like this even if somehow I knew worry only would make me suffer more, since I suffered thinking in what could happen and then suffered if it happened. The last two years, though, I have managed to keep worry controlled (even if things have not been as good as in previous years) and it is amazing the quality of life I get doing that. I do not know if the things I want are going to happen or not if I worry less, but I know for a FACT that I am happier thinking 'everything will be fine' than 'we're going straight to disaster if we continue like this'. And people around me are better with me. Why did I stop worrying? I believe I reached a point when I could not take any more suffering and my mind said 'enough', no more worries, actions. I think we can do it if we really really think what is better for us and for people we love. MizFit: Somehow your topic resonates so much with me, since I have been a chronic worrier most of my life.

I've never heard this quote before today. I'm going to make myself start praying for peace & relief and stop making myself crazy sick with worry.
