We all worry. When our worries preoccupy our mind we do not function well. Whether we are worried about a family member, a situation that we are in financially or a problem at work, worry prevents us from being able to focus on what we CAN do.

Worry does not help us solve anything. In fact worrying can make us physically ill. The proof of that is demonstrated in many ways; headaches, ulcers, stomach upset, and indigestion are just a few.

So what can we replace “worry” with? Try stopping for a minute and do some deep breathing. When you find your mind wandering back to the concern you have that worries you, force yourself to change your thoughts to something positive that is going on in your life.

Always remember to change those things you can, and let go of the things that you have no control over. It may be painful to come to the realization that you actually have no control over a situation that is causing you pain, but it may save your mental health. Do not sacrifice your health for issues that you cannot improve. You will have nothing left to give. You are better than that! You are amazing!
