I like the idea of burning the worries and them flushing them.

Sorry about the sun not shining in Chicago. Actual it does come up, you just have trouble seeing when it does. We do have days like that too, but not as many as you people do. I’ll try to send some sunshine your way.

Have a great day.

This is so true -

“You can also see a tendency of our society to support us worrying, because it’s so much easier to control people when they are in fear.”

That’s why Dr. Andrew Weil advises us not to look at the news after 6 PM. There is no GOOD news, for the most part on TV. It is depressing.

Yes, I also give my orders to the Universe. Hope it is listening.

Although, it is said, God is not the bellhop in the sky.

Sometimes, looking back, I give thanks for the prayers that were not answered.

I have a friend who has a “Worry Container.”

Here’s her twist on it.

She takes them out every so often and burns them in her kitchen sink.
Then she flushes the ashes down the toilet.

What do you think of that?

And yes, the sun does come up in the morning.

(but not always in Chicago!)

Take a box or can and label it “The Worry Container”, write your worries out everytime you have one and put in the container. At the end of the week check them and you will fine they aren’t important. Either it was just a problem that need solved or it really didn’t matter.

very lovely article. It’s so true, worrying makes things worse. And yes, you are right, usually it’s fear that causes our worries. As I am reading a lot these days about communicating with the Universe (and placing my orders with them by the way ) this post fits perfectly in my approach to become better and better every day. It all comes together and we as human beings are so much greater than these worries. Sometimes I think if they are devil made and designed to keep us down . You can also see a tendency of our society to support us worrying, because it’s so much easier to control people when they are in fear.

Again thank you so much for this post, I appreciate it very much!

You have much to be proud of, Corinne. Your interests are diverse,your talents many. I happen to belive your greatest treasure is your wisdom and ability to reach out to others. In your “essay” about worrying, I could not find your usual invitation to respond. So I will here. You share some excellent advice on how to ease the “worry pain” You are absolutely right. Worry is product of FEAR! A positive attitute is an excellent tonic to ease FEAR. Also try to not to think about yourself , rather think about others and how you can make a difference in another’s life….just like YOU do. I’d be will ing to bet a fortune that YOU, Corinne are not plagued by worry. Yes I would!
