Worry is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere.
You could ask Erik and he'd tell you, I've been worried lately... worried and wound up. I know my worries are small and nothing to get worked up about in comparison to the worries some have of food and shelter. So I'm leaving my worries behind. I once told Erik that I couldn't turn off my worries like a light switch, so quickly and instantaneously, but I heard you can learn to. So to teach myself not to be in a state of worry, here is what I'm going to do:
- Workout - because that does wonders for the body and the mind.
- Stop dwelling on my worries - the source of the worry still my be present but if I can't do anything about it then I don't need to worry about it.
- Be thankful. Be thankful for family and friends.
- Believe in myself.
- Enjoy. Enjoy each moment.
- Do good.
- Smile.

"Are you upset little friend? Have you been lying awaking worrying? Well, don't worry...I'm here. The flood waters will recede, the famine will end, the sun will shine tomorrow, and I will always be here to take care of you." - Charlie Brown to Snoopy
"There is a great difference between worry and concern. A worried person sees a problem, and a concerned person solves a problem." - Harold Stephens
