Worrying works for me. None of the stuff I worry about ever happens.

Welcome and remember: to worry is like saying a prayer for something bad to happen. I read that somewhere. I hope you find your way and I really miss the garbage plates and Pontillos wings.

I wish I could remember the exact quote, but I saw something like this a while back here..."worrying is like a rocking chair, it passes the time but doesn't get you anywhere."

I did like that one!

Welcome napolitana

I *try* to follow the Dalai Lama on this one

Quote:

Dalai Lama: We have a saying in Tibet: If a problem can be solved there is no use worrying about it. If it can't be solved, worrying will do no good.

Maybe some of our religious members can help me out here, I remember a bible quote I once saw. Loosely, it read "have any one of you gained even a single hour by worrying?". Simply put, worrying will do nothing to change the outcome of anything. Taken further, only solid action will.

I find myself engaging in excessive worry too from time to time. I use mindfulness techniques to recognize it and just say to myself: "there goes those silly thoughts again. I don't have time for this crap. What should I have for dinner?"
