Do you worry a lot?

Aahahaha! Who me?......yup.

What do you think? A lot.

I'm afraid so. That doesn't make me a wuss does it?

I worry sometimes about things, but not a lot. It depends on the severity of the situation. Little things don't bother me. If something major is bothering me, I'll talk to my wife or friends about it. It always helps to have other suggestions or opinions. I just deal with it the best I can and let things play out. Besides, when I'm worrying about something it's hard to focus on other things.

I think the quote fgoes somethihng like this: "Sufficient unto the day are the evils thereof".

Or, more simply: 

What?  Me worry? 

Not a lot. I discovered patterns of life that makes me realize many things that happens in my life so i have the bigger image so i remain calm. But yet however we try so hard! Sometimes we get caught up with the worry! Mostly coming from stress, the stress that created by the unknown, the unknown path of the future and how it will direct us.

No , I used to allot . Once I realized there's no benifit to worring  about things beyond my control I became a much calmer person... Kinda :)

I try not too ! I just think or do something else and let whatever will be....be.

I used to.

When I was growing up, every time I shared great news or excitement about something great that had (in retrospect as an adult) a 99% chance of happening for me, she would quickly remind me that there was still that 1% chance that it wouldn't happen.

Since parents wind up greatly influencing both their children's interpretation of the world and also how to process what happens to them in it, I "learned" that the world was not a beneficent place.

So I constantly thought that it was highly unlikely that I would I would get the things that I wanted and needed.  While my physical needs were met and I never had doubts about that because they were met 3 or more times a day, I never had confidence that things would usually work out in the end.  (They did, but "wants" tend to be less frequently satisfied than obvious needs, so the satisfactions that I received were unable to overcome my expectations of scarcity in what I considered to be important to me.)

CBT has changed my life over the past 10 years (approximately).

I have found that the principles of CBT can be self applied.  They are pretty basic.  And what a difference they can make!!

The core principles of CBT are identifying negative or false beliefs and testing or restructuring them. - See more at: http://www.nami.org/Learn-More/Treatment/Psychotherapy#sthash.91mkCWi9.dpuf

Nope. It is  waste of time and energy. I read a great quote the other day on it.

“Worrying is using your imagination to create something you don’t want.”

-Esther Hicks, is a best-selling author and speaker.

Yes, I have various anxiety issues. A lot of times I'm worrying about something that is really not worth worrying about at all.

Stuff happens just roll with it
