Worrying

Worry, it’s a draining burden, but is it necessary?

What could you do less of?

Its probably a subject matter that will be picked up on quite a bit i should imagine, purely because of the state of things in this big wide world, and because of the burdens we put upon our selves quite unnecessarily. Now I ain’t any psychologist, and you aren’t going to find a health hack here. Someone has asked the question, and I’m just giving my two penneth worth as they say.

Why do we worry? God knows, we worry about what others think when in all truthfulness they don’t give a rats ass about you, it’s something that has somehow worked its way into your psyche and it’s now programmed to pester you 24hrs a day. Just forget it they say, that’s easier said than done, it’s like a medieval soldier being sent into battle and being told, “Don’t worry about any armour, they just want to talk!” As soon as your defences are down, fight and flight appears on the scene, and that makes things a million times worse.

It’s strange that some of our biggest battles are with our own internal settings, when in our own personal little world there really is nothing to worry about. We worry about things that could happen, when they most probably will not, we worry about others, which is not a bad thing, but we neglect our own well being.

And here I am, fully loaded with all of the above spouting all this bilge out, why? Am I just replying to that prompt issued by WP? Or am I crying out for help? Probably neither to be honest, I’m just letting people know in advance that I’m probably one of life’s inherently natural worriers, and if I ever meet you I’m probably going to worry about your well being as well.

It’s probably why I’m so introverted, there’s a limit to just how much infectious burden you can bear, and to be honest I think my brain has a short circuit in that area.

It would be lovely to off load all that burden, and for once, stand without that emotional globe on my weary shoulders.

Take care, and have a wonderful day, i worry about you.

Why bother? I care that’s why..

How do you waste the most time every day?

I probably waste too much of my day worrying about others and how they are fairing. I don’t know why I do it as to be honest most of the people I’m thinking of wouldn’t give me a second thought. There’s only so many times you can be asked for advice, and when you see those people do the complete polar opposite to what you advised you often wonder why do I bother?

I care that’s why, I don’t like to see anyone struggling, and that’s where I waste the most time every day.

One day someone may thank me, I don’t know. I seem to overlook my own well being for others. Maybe, just maybe, there is someone out there wasting time thinking about me, that would be nice.

I doubt it though. But I’ll never change.

That’s just me.

Thoughts 10/4/24

Describe one positive change you have made in your life.

When sitting here I find it very hard to actually pinpoint a positive change I’ve made in my life. I’m sure I have made many however I find it difficult to pinpoint one in particular.

I guess if I had to choose one positive change, I would say that it would have to be that of not worrying, but that would be lying because I do worry I worry continually, it’s natural we all worry.

What I really mean is that I try not to worry about small stuff as that’s always been an issue with me. I let the smallest thing worry me I wish I could adopt the attitude of mañana just like the Spanish. Don’t worry about it until later. It’s a wonderful attitude in my eyes.

I struggle with it and it’s a constant battle, to not worry, it’s the way I’ve always been. It’s the way I’ll always be. I can only try to worry less.

This isn’t sounding very positive is it? So I guess I will just have to stop there to be totally honest. I can’t put my finger on one thing that I’ve been positive with change wise in my life.

I have failed terribly in today’s “Thoughts” I will have to try harder in the future.

That’s sad, it really is.

Happy day everyone
