Don’t worry before its time

I was talking to my sister and she was telling me about the way her son (my nephew) was treating his children. They would be worried about various things. He would tell them not to worry before it’s time.

Let’s first think about worry. What is it? It is a negative feeling that one has without taking action. Most worries are actionless since they are about things that we can do nothing about.

For example your spouse is late and you worry. There’s nothing you can do and your mind wonders. You think and think. You obsess.  You imagine all sorts of evil events which may have happened to your loved one. The longer your loved is late the stronger the imagined images of disasters become.

Unfortunately worrying is like  a spark in a tinderbox. It feeds on itself. The more you worry the more you’ll worry….

Often, one worries about the future.  You may have a job today – the economy is bad -  you worry about losing your job – this makes your efficiency at work go down – and perhaps you end up losing your job – a self fulfilling prophesy, which proves to you that you were right to worry.

I have heard that less than a few hours of worrying a year is about things that are real and you can actually do something about. Of course as soon as you take action the worry ceases and you go into action mode and have no time left to worry.

This is the natural fight or flight mode which is natural. If you have ever been in a accident or near accident you remember that you were quite calm while dealing with the problem. The extra adrenaline in your blood makes your heart beat faster, more oxygen and nutrition get to your brain and moreover your brain works faster producing a slow motion time dilation effect.

You calculate more choices of what to do. You take better action to avoid the acident. And then it’s over.  Either you have an accident or you managed to extricate yiurself from the dangerous conditions. Now, you feel your heart beating faster. Now you get emotional. Now you may worry about what might have happened….

So free yourself and don’t worry before its time. When you do that you’ll take bolder action and have much more peaceful and successful life.
