i spend about 30% of my day thinking about things I don’t have control of or that have not happened yet.
How to stop worrying about things that don't matter
It made me
More focused 
"Decide whats important and "don't Sweat the small stuff" And Remember its Pretty much all small stuff!"
How I did it: I used to let everything bother me...Was always stressing over one thing or another...I was having panic and anxiety attacks quite often and I didn't like feeling of being Stuck in the fight or flight sensation so I started really looking at what I was allowing to stress me out. I remembered a friend of mine once made the comment that "stress was like an Ocean tide" He said " The Tide comes in and The Tide Goes out" That clicked with me because I learned that day that when I had a panic or an anxiety attack I started telling myself Inside my mind "The Tide comes in and the tide goes out"
The attacks became shorter until i stopped having them altogether. I realized that though i may be freaked out for the moment that the feeling would wash over me like a wave and be gone. No need to stress. worked for me...allowed me to realize that I was allowing myself to get all worked up and stressed out over things that would not matter in another 5 minutes or a week...

This is a hard one today – not sure why. It’s a beautiful Sunday. Have no gottagottagottas. Pete made breakfast, uploaded a butload of music sent by a friend, and looking forward to reading and having my time. There is a gnawing little stress monkey at the back of my brain rattling around its cage. Need to hit the meditation committment.

Giving up ... for now

While I still want to do this, I see no end to the problem right now and I want to focus on other goals.
I Worry Too Much
2 years ago
Nowadays I worry about every little minor thing, I worry that I might be late for school or walk into the wrong class, I’ve worried about whether I was going to get called on the way to the car again (because that happened once). It’s really annoying because I seem to have an innability to think rationaly, but that’s all going to change – I’m going to come up with a system to stop me worrying! Does anyone have any ideas?

I think I stress too much. I used to think I was a calm person but now it seems that I get so stressed, so worried at the smallest thing or even silly thing. I worry about things in the future, the past, the present, and things that haven’t even appeared/happened yet that I think could or might happen in the future just to make my life miserable. What’s wrong with me…
I think, I have to find out, what matters first
3 years ago
Because nowadays what really worries me is my job. I really like my job, but I worry to much about it. And it makes me so nervous, that I’am affraid to go to my workplace. And I do not think, that this is a good thing. What really matters, is that I do not want to make errors, which is of course almost impossible, and it makes me stomach-ache. So, my job is really important for me, and I really want to be as good, as I can, but without these worries. I want to enjoy what I do, that is all.

I just start to worry about something, and it takes long time for me to realize, that I overreacted the hole thing. So it would be really nice, to take it easy.

I found myself worrying because I couldn’t remember what it was I had been worrying about earlier. This definitely gets a prize for the ‘things that don’t matter’ category!
