CHAPTER 8

WORRY, ANXIETY, SHAME,

GUILT, AND SELF-PITY

You can always find something to worry about!

Roz, a Jewish mother

WORRY AND ANXIETY ARE FEAR-BASED EMOTIONS. They project negative outcomes for our problems. Worry is certainly milder than anxiety, but it’s still destructive if it’s habitual. Anxiety is so powerful that it can spill over from one difficult situation to other, unrelated ones. It can spread and become a jittery, suspicious approach to all of life. Sadly and ironically, focusing on catastrophe is more likely to attract catastrophe to us.

Frequent worry and anxiety are emotional cancers that eat away our peace of mind and our enjoyment of life. They also compromise our physical health. Chi kung and Traditional Chinese Medicine say that anxiety and worry can literally “eat us up” — they consume the life force, the chi, of our digestion and absorption organs, the stomach, spleen, and pancreas.
