You can't worry if you can't control it...
There is so much to worry about if we want to. We can be consumed with worries without much effort. But here is a good way to get rid of a bunch of worries. My rule is this: You can't worry about anything that you can not directly control.
When you really stop and think about it, why do we worry about things we can't control? It does not make any sense. It's such a waste of precious time and limited energy. Plus it just leads to more and more worries. No sense.
So stop the madness and stop focusing on things out of your control. If you can control it then you can worry about it. Things like your attitude, your choices, your thoughts, and your actions are things to use mind power on.....but how others act, others dirty laundry, other people's opinions...those are all off limits. Do not spend time and energy on these!
Do this: Do an audit of yourself. Audit what you worry about. Then grade yourself: Are you using time and energy on things you can control or things outside of your control? I know you will find this to be a valuable exercise. Once you make this list, then put in action plans to make sure you remove things that you can not control.
