Oh wow. I’m so glad you brought this worry subject up. Not many people know yet, because it hasn’t hit the mainstream media, but “Worry” is an essential nutrient and we all really need to be SURE to get our daily dosage. ;)
It can be very difficult to remember, but now that you are doing it nightly, just stay in the habit. Fortunately, it doesn’t take much. Even just worrying about remembering to worry should cover it. It’s sort of like a trace mineral, just prime the pump and your body actually can produce it on its own. If it is hard to remember to worry daily, set a timer or put a sticky note on your bathroom mirror so that when you brush your teeth, for example, you will see the note and remember to set aside your worry time. Just a simple note, like “WORRY TONIGHT”, or even a little cartoon face like an emoticon. Our worry fix can come in various potencies ranging from mild distraction all the way up to panic, it’s up to you. Just do not SKIP it, ever. If you start thinking you don’t need to worry, your system could just get all whacked out and you’ll have to start over, like antibiotics. Keep taking it. Anyhow, I’m preaching to the choir here, cuz you obviously have this covered, Tami. Love and light…
@tess: i knew someone would know how to take care of the worries! xo
That worry button is tough to turn off at night, isn’t it? When I’ve gone through that, I turn to meditation with a calming mantra to help me sleep.
@jenna: meditation?!?!? why didn’t i think of that???? seriously. great idea. i’ve got a lovingkindness mantra committed to memory. i shall use it when the worry bug bites again.
Oh my lord, where is that swimming spot? I want to go to there. Secretly, of course.
@mads: amador county – consumnes river. so, so secret on a wednesday afternoon. perfection.
