I'll be the first to admit that I am prone to worrying, from time to time. I worry about our finances; I worry about getting ill; I worry about our (adult) kids; I worry about a late frost killing the new plants in the garden. ![1016-Rose03.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmem3NKDtGSeq4FuR69297nAMbu1FjDCj2phtriXEUmQdv/1016-Rose03.jpg) I suppose we should admit that worry is a natural human emotion, BUT it can also easily become a bottomless pit we struggle to get out of. Back when I spent a *lot* of time attending self-development and spiritual workshops, I remember one of my Teachers once pointing out that our *THOUGHTS* about a thing tend to be far worse than the *THING*, itself... and most of our worries take the form of working ourselves into *"quite a state"* by imagining an outcome that's actually *far worse* than the *worst* actual real-world scenario. As soon as the new year hits, I typically start to worry about paying our property taxes... it's a *big* bill, and the consequences of *not* being able to pay it *could* be what they call a *"Property tax foreclosure."* So I worry. In past years I didn't *worry* as much because our work and income was more stable and reliable... and we generally made enough money to set something aside every month towards that annual bill. ![1068-Grasses.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmP9FXHwjZwTAWrEuCBsv3qN974Hefc7ZBpgHCYStFMUfW/1068-Grasses.jpg) Of course, the worry is largely *useless.* The *real* answer is that we may find ourselves having to borrow a couple of thousand dollars on our credit cards to make the payment on time, at the end of April. Nobody's going to come in and *"take away"* our home... that's just the worry speaking. And this *is* how worry works, in our lives. We worry that we're going to get sick when we finally get a chance to go see family members in some distant location, even though the *actual* likelihood we'll get sick is close to zero. We worry we're going to get laid off from our job because several people at our place of work recently *were,* even though we know perfectly well that we have worked there for *ten years* and they are only laying off very *junior* people who joined the company in the last two years. ![1009-Cherry.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcpXy3RXtdGu367BuXuiJJFEDWSK4QJfNNK2X7XWxofmj/1009-Cherry.jpg) The human mind is very adept at fabricating *"disaster scenarios"* where no actually exist! And I have been as guilty as the next person, of doing this! I suppose we each have our own ways of coping; for me *"getting the FACTS"* tends to be the best thing I can do for myself. As long as I am operating in the realm of *"maybe"* and *"perhaps,"* the worry machine seems to run free... but once I ascertain just *how small* the odds of something bad happening actually *is,* then I calm down. I'm by no means *perfect,* but I am getting better... Wait... should I be worried about *"Not being perfect...?"* Nah! Thanks for reading and have a great (and worry free!) remainder of your week! ***How about YOU? Are you a worrier? Or do you just take things in stride?
