Don't WORRY ...Be HAPPY !!!!!

By Arien

It is the most common daily mental activity. It is the greatest misuse of mental energy. It is a complete waste of time. And it may even kill. It's Kicking the Worry Habit

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

It's good to worry isn't it? Worry shows you care doesn't it? It means you are cleverly anticipating the future ... yes? No, no and no! Worry is anxiety based on fiction. It is a series of negative thoughts which disempowers the natural creativity of your consciousness, and it may eventually sabotage your physical digestive system.

Winston Churchill once said near the end of his life. "When I look back on all the words I have read, I remember the story of the main who said on his death bed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life that never happened"

So what is worry? It is the regurgitation of a negatively perceived past projected into the future. It is the dredging up of memories of hurt, rearranged into an imaginary tale of conflict or loss still to come.

And yet despite most people acknowledging worry as a waste of time and energy, it is still one of the most common lessons we learn from our parents. The prevailing myth which is handed down from generation to generation is 'it's good to worry, it shows you care'. Worry is fear and care is love, and fear and love are polar opposites. If you stop for a moment and become aware of why you worry about someone else you may also find it is motivated by selfishness – you are really worried for yourself. You are worried about how you will feel if something bad happens to someone else. In fact you are already feeling it!

Worry thinking is simply a learned habit, an addiction that is fed by a toxic daily diet of bad news, unfortunate events and tales of personal traumas of others. Don't Worry Be Happy was the title of a hit song a few years ago. For many that is not easy, as worry has become a mental/emotional drug and just saying 'be happy' is a threat to that drug. Besides, many people think they are quite happy ... worrying! Do you?
