WORRY QUOTES V

quotations about worry & worrying

Worry is a fidgety girl who can't do things right. In the morning she dresses herself but the clothes don't fit. Worry is slim. Worry is fat. Worry is never what she wants to be.

Reiki: A Spiritual Doorway to Natural Healing


Worry is different from fear. If fear is like a raging fever, worry is a low-grade temperature. It nags at us, simmers in our souls, hovers in the back of our minds like a faint memory. We may fear certain realities, like death; we worry about vague possibilities. Worry distracts us more than paralyzes us. It is like a leaky faucet we never get around to fixing.

People who are prone to worrying are soft-wired to pay attention to threatening news, thereby building up a library of evidence in their brains that worrying is necessary. Think about it. On any given day, there are so many threatening things happening in the world -- anything from new viruses, terrorist attacks, or political conflicts to a hostile email or upcoming storm are all real events. Yet, if you only pay attention to the threats, you have no space left in your brain to process anything else. Threat becomes your reality, and worry becomes your justifiable response. Anyone telling you to give up your worry will sound out of touch, to say the least.

Worry-free living can be ours. Worry is merely an option. Take a lesson from our children. Toss your worries onto your Father. Then go outside and play.

Worrying is about living in a "what if" state of mind and visualizing what you DON'T want to experience, instead of what you DO! When your mind gets stuck on a negative thought, it automatically shifts into high gear and tries to fix the situation.

JAFREE OZWALD

The Manifesting Manual


Worrisome thoughts reproduce faster than rabbits, so one of the most powerful ways to stop the spiral of worry is simply to disclose my worry to a friend.... The simple act of reassurance from another human being [becomes] a tool of the Spirit to cast out fear.

Worry is a starting place, but not a staying place.

Worry is nothing but the bad habit of thinking about what you DON'T want to happen. It's a misuse of your most precious power -- the imagination.

The Sky's the Limit: Go for the Gold!


Worrying ... is always useless. It is a form of inner considering--i.e. of identifying. It is a continual mixing up of negative imagination with a few facts and so makes only wrong connections.

MAURICE NICOLL

Psychological Commentaries on the Teaching of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky


Worry compounds the futility of being trapped on a dead-end street. Thinking opens new avenues.

What's the use of worrying?
It never was worth while,
So, pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile.
