Want to tell me something? Send me a text!What is your relationship with "worry"?Everyone has worry but do you let it take you away or do you not take it as seriously?The best thing I learned from Brooke Castillo is that worry pretends to be necessary but really is the most useless emotion . It does not to prevent the bad things from happening. It does not predict the future correctly.It does not prepare you for the bad things .It just creates the bad feeling BEFORE the 'bad' thing happens.Worry is your brain saying  "I know what the future we be- it will be bad - so you better prepare for it by feeling bad now.” Makes no sense Pema Chodron says “Whatever you think the future will be - it will be different”. So here’s my relationship with worry - I don’t believe it. I see it as this friend of mine who is always worried and never for a good reason and I just don’t want to spend time with her. She’s always worried and I don’t think she’s always right. So when worry comes up I always recognize it and as soon as I recognize it I realize it is just a bunch of nonsense I don’t need to get involved in.  Recognizing it helps me detach from it/ believe it less.Of course there are time when I have to work harder at leaving the worry state but it’s so practiced now that simply recognizing us is enough to detach. So I wanted to offer this to you- what is your relationship with worry?Do you let it spin you out ? Do you believe it? Do you believe it is right? Do you have a worry habit ? My friend needs a worry free diet. Do you? It saves a lot of suffering when you don’t take it seriously and you get good and not taking it seriously. So if you have worries about your son or his future- how can your worry be wrong about him and his future ? Worry is just a prediction that he will have a terrible future - or something will go wrong. But it’s just one of a hundred different scenarios that could play out for him. Your worry could totally be wrong. So then worrying and feeling bad now will be a total waste. Don’t let worry waste your emotions and time imagining the future that sucks. That hasn’t even happened yet.
