I have attempted to stop worrying what other people think of me, and be so concerned about their feelings, not mine, learning to say no and walk away. Turning it over to God helped tremendously, he has a plan/test for us all

[@Learnmoretoday59]

Sometimes worrying can be a good thing. It can motivate us to change or do something that needs to be done. However, compulsive worrying is unhealthy.

There’s a quote usually credited to Mark Twain that says “I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.” Great collab. 🥰

I’m not a worrier anymore. In my mid 30’s I realized (with the help from a counselor) that worrying wasn’t helping . 1. Identity the problem 2.figure out your options to fix the problem 3.choose the option that gives you the best results and finally, let it go!

Oh, how timely this video is for me! I received a phone call this morning from my mother's surgeon. She'll have a pacemaker put in soon. Right now, I'm preparing our house to accommodate my 92-year-old sister-in-law. So, I'm now making plans to travel to Dallas to help my mother. I know God has a sense of humor. You gave excellent advice! I watched An's collab. It was very good, too. I'm sticking to my Blue Bell Dutch Chocolate solution, lol. Not really, that's the last thing I need. Prayer is always my first step. Love to all, Linda 💕

CONCERN is a necessity in life. Trees get cut down, steps get fixed, meals get made. Worry is just a waste of time/energy/emotion. Maybe Alfred E. Neuman had it right: "What, Me Worry?"

Most of my worries are just shameful -- people with REAL troubles would just roll their eyes. Life is pretty good right now.

Worrying can be looking into the future and preparing for it... If your "preparation" is based on experience/seeing what's coming that can be good.

[@Saturn57]

I learned that we worry about things based on our past experiences (and even our parents and ancestors' experiences as they are stored in our memory through DNA). The solution, which I need to remind myself of, is to have a better relationship with your imagination than with your memory, to believe that things will turn out ok and to only remember the past as a lesson for the future. It helps to identify where that worry comes from based on our past experiences. It also helps when I tell myself: I trust myself to handle this. I know more things now than I did in the past.

[@lynnhensley4326]

I am a worrier, too. Mostly about things not in my control. I do worry about weird things, like an airplane crashing into my house, that most probably will not happen. Current news makes me worry. I try to listen to soothing music, read or watch something uplifting.

[@MicahMoneyMatters]

Another great video! Love the topic! My best advice is get Prepared and get Organized. This can mean various things like: Creating an emergency fund, Creating a budget, Stocking up on essentials, Getting various types of insurances, Deciding with friends and family who will do what in case something happens. Those are some examples. You have to get your self from the mind set of "What am i going to do if XYZ happens" to "I'm prepared if XYZ happens" Now I'm not saying this is the end all be all to solving for everything but it is an excellent start. What does everyone think of what I said. What other idea's to you all have in regards to this topic?

Great advice.

IF it is something that requires action on my part, I will walk it off until I figure out what it is I am going to do or say. If it is something that requires my letting go, then I pray about it. Worry is normal, but unhealthy, I greet it like I would a menstrual cycle... something all mothers endure, but none miss when it's gone for good.

Under extreme stress...like a small bank all of the sudden canceled my HELOC renewal despite assurances that there'd be no problem. I had 6 weeks to finalize a loan for $19,000 or lose the house during a time of highschool/college graduation..4th of July.. How to get an appraisal? Closer?.. I turned up the volume on the tv and radio..full blast...scrambled my brain enough to not think about the worry. ..everything came together at the last minute..and I didn't have to take a tranquilizer ..lol

[@mysticmeadowshomestead6209]

You had a real victory right there. I'm surprised you don't have a lot more thumbs up for others. Congrats! 🎉

[@3TXSisters]

I'm very sensitive to loud sounds, so I don't know that this would work for me. I'm so glad it worked for you. Disrupting the negative loop in our brain allows us to think more clearly and to examine solutions.

[@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom]

That sounds so stressful

[@bria2596]

Saw a great video on stopping brain worry loops: Ask yourself two questions: 1) Are my thoughts useful? 2) Are my thoughts behaving themselves? - This is where the advice gets interesting, just keep asking yourself those two questions, over and over again (like a mantra), and your brain will quiet itself. * It actually works. * I wondered if we were giving our mind permission to quit worrying? I think that might be why it works.

[@3TXSisters]

Thank you for this effective method!

Love your videos, Dawn. My biggest worry is my diabetes…my sugar has been high lately. I take Metformin for it, but my sugar still climbs higher. I’m starting to walk more and eat better, so I’m hoping that will help. Doing something about the diabetes, taking action does help calm the worry more. I’m also working with my doctor to get healthier. Even though I’m type 2 diabetic, I have the biggest problem with sweets….I still love to eat them, hehe, even though I know I shouldn’t. Doc actually said I could have a sweet treat every once in a while, but I eat them more often than I should.

[@3TXSisters]

It's good to know what you can eat that won't spike your glucose levels. Dark chocolate seems to be better than milk chocolate for me. It could be that I don't like it as much so I don't eat as much. I'm also better with cake-like sweets rather than candy. Eliminating sweets would be best of all, but we need a little treat every now and then. You may check to see if carbs are elevating your levels. Sourdough bread seems to be better for diabetics. Exercise is key, too. Good luck! Take care, Linda 🦋

[@onewomanandsomesongs]

@@3TXSisters I do like dark chocolate, so maybe I’ll have that as my next treat. Thanks. 😀

[@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom]

I am so glad your Doctor is working with you my friend.

[@Bevity]

The candy you eat is doing it! You are your worst enemy and there is no hehe appropriate here. I could give you the best advice in the world, but you aren't ready to help yourself. My mother was a raging diabetic and the worst thing the doctor told her was that she could sometimes have an ice cream. Guess what she did? She rationalized as many ice creams as she wanted, which were many. "The doctor said I could have ice cream..." Your diabetes doesn't respond well to candy, so why do you eat it? Hehe.... Oh if I was there with you in person I would set you straight.

"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus," Philippians 4:6-8 KJV. I do that and usually get out and take a walk, lol.
