That’s a good exercise to do, the asking why. It helps to write the answers down, but I’m too afraid someone will read it. I might try doing the exercise, then shredding what I wrote. Something to think about, thank you.

Perhaps if you consider your tension reactions and ask why certain things make you get tense it would help. You can talk yourself down from some reactions by asking yourself why you have a certain reactoin, then ask yourself why you got that answer, and then ask why to that answer…eventually you get to the real root of the issue.

Hope you are feeling 100%.

(Also, although I don’t do them any longer because of getting out of the habit, breathing exercises can help you relax.)

Be good to you. You deserve it. I love the saying that worry is like a rocking chair — it gives you something to do but doesn’t get you very far.

A long bath, a cool drink, and lots of ahhhhhhs. Just the ticket. :)

“when I don’t worry, it still gets done”. Love that. I think we internalize the concern that if we stop fretting, we’ll stop alltogether, but of course we don’t. We just flow instead of push.

So listen to the bod, and be good to yourself. All the worrying, in my experience, doesn’t get another minute in the day or another dollar in the bank account.

If it did, I’d be filthy, stinking rich. But then I wouldn’t have to worry anymore and I’d go broke pretty fast.

Hm. Something new to worry about.
