I would like to stop worrying. I’m not exactly sure when I crossed the line from non-worrier and graduated to full-fledged worrywart. It certainly wasn’t in high school. It might have started in college when I coped with a roommate who had severe health problems. Or maybe it began when I started wondering about my career during junior year.
Like many problems, worrying just crept into my life. It infiltrated my thought patterns and impacted how I dealt with issues that cropped up – and this is the best part – issues that hadn’t even happened yet. I’m a forward worrier. I can project scenarios and worry about those before they take place. I think that’s the subset of worry I’d like to tackle first. If I can learn how to train my thought patterns away from situations that have yet to happen, then the next step can be working on reactionary worry.
So I’ll call this the resolute worrier project and take my readers along with me. I’ll include info from experts. And any tips that you might have are appreciated and welcomed.
