They are selling. The news gets ratings, the cars and insurance gets sold. It's easy to get lost in the confusion wondering what you should be worried about. The real question is whether you should worry at all.

Ask yourself if you can do or change anything about the situation you are worried about. For example, if you're worried that a meteor is going to hit the earth in 2010 and destroy the entire human population, then you shouldn't worry. There's nothing you can do.

If, however, there is something you can do about it, then you still shouldn't worry. Instead, you should do something about it. For example, if you're worried that you are going to get heart disease from eating fatty fried foods and never exercising, then you shouldn't worry. You should make the changes you can to improve your health.

Worry can waste your time in two ways.  One way is by simply keeping you occupied thinking about all the stuff that may happen in the future.  Meanwhile, you will neglect the present life that you have.

The other way worry wastes your time is by actually killing you.  Worry can produce hormones that are destructive to our bodies and may actually kill us as easily as smoking or obesity.  These hormones can help clog arteries and raise your blood pressure, two things that will probably lead to more worrying for you.

So, now that you are worried about worrying too much, it's time to practice letting go of worry. Even though you might be a little worried about worrying too much based on what you have read hear, you can stop worrying. Here's the real steps:

1. Believe that you can keep from worrying This empowers you to break a habit of worry. Pray for peace and leave your worries to God if you can't do it on your own.

3. Do something when you start to get worried. Take responsibility for what you can by planning for the future. Once you've done all you can, distract yourself from what you are worried about.
   

Once you've done all these steps and there is still a problem, then you will have to learn how to let go of what you can't control.  Many things in life are not within our control.  So don't worry.  Worrying is within our control, so do something about it.  Don't worry about worrying.
