Worry, what a waste of time. How difficult it is, thought, to stop. That is my thought for the day. There was something looming in the near future for me the past two weeks. Even though everything has worked out over the past four months, how easy it was for me to worry that everything would fall apart. Logically it did not seem to be that way, but I found it virtually impossible to keep the worry at bay.

Finally, yesterday, it all played out. It was exactly as I thought it would be. There was no need to worry. The worrying was probably the tipping point that sent my back into spasms a few weeks ago.

If one is to live intentionally, there does come a time when one must recognize the worry for what it is – emotional gravity trying to pull you back to the belief systems that have driven you in the past. Sure, the thoughts will still come, but they are simply thought. You do not have to be controlled by them.

The positive lining in the past few weeks is that even when I struggled to keep the worry and anxiety at bay, I was still practicing the art of finishing them. Getting things done to move forward is now the name of the game.
