People worry way too much. The thing with worry is it doesn’t change anything … or does it? Your reality is your perception, and your perception is formed by thoughts, beliefs, and experience. Worry is a thought or concern based on fear that is accompanied by negative emotions. These emotions accompany the thoughts and images in the mind, and are strongly felt in the body, forming the perfect storm of “worry.”

Why should that all matter? Because of these two things:

1) Worry is generally a “concern” of an outcome of a situation that is not based on fact, and backed with no substantial proof that the outcome will indeed be negative. Your mind then goes straight to what you don’t want to happen (with no evidence that it will) and manipulates your thoughts to see how this negative event is a possibility.

2) The more you worry, the more the worry will solidify itself in your mind as a belief or fact.

Worry is based on fear.

People spend far more time thinking about every negative scenario that can happen to them or in their lifetime than they ever spend on a positive scenario that could possibly happen. In fact, negative thinking outnumbers positive thinking two to one, and most of the time it is a much higher ratio. Why? Because, it is easier (or more believable) for people to accept a negative outcome as a possibility than it is for them to accept a positive outcome as a possibility. Isn’t that sad? Sad but true.

Worry is being too rigid in your thought pattern.

Worry is believing that there are limited outcomes to any given situation, and you spend most of your time focused on the worst possible outcome. Let the truth be told here, there are so many variables to every outcome that it would be mind boggling if you actually sat down and played out every scenario in your head.

Worry is based on negative thought and thoughts do become your reality.

Thoughts are energetic wave patterns that are sent out into the Universe and the wave patterns actually come together to form, and to become things. The energetic wave patterns of thoughts can be measured; this is quantum physics not metaphysics. Your thoughts go out into the Universe, and form your reality, if you are not resistant to it. In other words, if you can “feel” that it is a possibility, it is. When you worry, not only do you “feel” that the negative outcome is a possibility, the more you worry the more you obsess about it becoming your reality, the more energy you are focusing towards a potentially negative outcome. Then when it happens you say, “I knew this would happen, this is why I worry!” There, now you have more proof to justify your worrying for next time.

Worry is normal to an extent.

Worry is a normal emotion; in fact, everybody has experienced worry in his or her lifetime. It is okay to worry now and again as long as you do not obsess about whatever made you worry in the first place.
