How to stop worrying
It made me
Joyful
 "I can't really say how long it took. It was more like a series of life lessons. I spent way too much time living in fear, worry, stress. It drained my energy and stole my joy."
How I did it: I came to believe that worry and stress are slow suicide. It is clinically proven that negative habits of thinking release chemicals into your body that do damage to your health over the long term. Even if modern medicine is able to keep you alive, your quality of life is poor when you are constantly poisoning yourself through worry and chronic stress.

How I did it: The turning point really happened when I was reading a book by Eckhart Tolle, where he succintly explains what it means to live in the moment and how to do it. Also realising that there is not point in worrying. When a decision is called for one makes it from the best that we know at that time. None can predict the outcome completely. As for worry that comes from fear understanding the we are always safe, no one can take ourselves away fr… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Move distressing things out of my life. Remember that life is not serious and significant. Worrying only takes away from the experience of life. Automating my bills made a big difference. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I started reading "How to stop worrying and start living" by dale carnegie and its just the most amazing book Ive ever read. After the my first reading of the first chapter, some of the things that Id been worrying about were ebbing away. This book was fantastic for someone like me who was a born-worrier to the point where I actually developed anxiety. Im just glad that I read this book at 17 and not when Im older. Read how I did it…

I worry about everything. I worry about how people think about me. I worry about how I look, talk, walk, smell, taste, sound, you know, all the senses. I worry about everyone I know, even if I rarely see them. I worry about things that I need to do in the future. I worry about things that I can do to please another person. I worry about pleasing everyone, and all this worrying just stresses me out. It’s completely not worth it. It’s a waste of time, and kills the energy and mood.

I think I am doing way better.
Right now, all I really am focusing on is getting the school year finished.
I know that once the school year is over, I have time to focus on things I want to do. But the rest of the school year is going to go by fast, and then…oh crap. I’m moving. Now I have to worry about moving?
Yeah, I don’t think I’m going to do better with this goal, or at least not until a few more weeks.
But I will try :)

It’s not going so well. I don’t have a job, I am running out of money, my parents are coming to holiday here in August, and I have to book things for that, taking more money out of the account. I sent CVs to people and none have replied, I’m reaching the end of my wick here!

I worry about everything and worrying about things that I can’t change are just a waste of my time and just cause me stress. I would love to just do things and not worry about them!

I have found that the song “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus really helps me when I get anxious. It is nice to be reminded that it is the journey that counts, not the destination.
