Many people have the habit of worrying excessively. They have all of these images of what could happen or wonder what they are going to do is this or that happens. Is it any wonder why so many people are prescribed anti-depression pills? Obviously, there is a percentage of people who actually need them but many people who are constantly worrying about things really just need to take a step back and take things into perspective.
The fact is that most of what we worry about on a daily basis don't even come true. There are certainly some benefits to worrying such as getting you to become more prepared for something but for the most part, it's something you can do without. So how do you stop worrying so much all the time? Here's an easy process.
If what you are worrying about is something you have the power to change, then change what you need to change so you don't have to worry about it. If you don't have the power to change it, then there's really no point in worrying because you can't do anything about it anyway. It's better to use your energy on something productive. Worrying is fine but make sure you choose things that you can actually influence the outcome, otherwise, you're just wasting your time.
If you've been in the habit of worrying and you're finding it a bit hard to overcome, try this. Make a list of the things that worry you. Write it on a piece of paper or on your computer. Once you do that, wait a few months and revisit the list and see which one of those things you were worrying about actually came true. Chances are, you'll find that most of the energy you spent worrying was for nothing.
One of the things that many people worry about is change, even though it's inevitable. Reading quotes on change can help and here's a good site: http://www.motivationalwellbeing.com/quotes-about-change.html.
