When I worry, I get busy [Week-143]
Lately, I find it hard to sleep, my chest tightens a bit, and I am overwhelmed by thoughts. My mind is active, searching for solutions. My breathing gets short. Then I remember that the greatest of catastrophes happens in my mind.
—Phrase of my authorship.—
I was a young girl when I realized the importance of money. That it was not only to buy candy, but that with it, I could conquer my desires, my goals and build part of my life.
Let's say that money is not everything, but it moves many things in the world. To live with the basics, with dignity and comfort, it is necessary. Who does not want to live like that? Every human being deserves to live like this, with comforts that make his passage through the world lighter.
Looking ahead, I would have to say that one of the things that worries me the most is the economic situation.
I worry about not having what I need for my family and myself. For our health well-being, food, some comforts of my own in my home and to continue to support my husband building for the benefit of both of us.
I worry about not being able to achieve my entrepreneurial goals by having the tools to work what I love and doing it to the best of my ability.
At times, this worry has made me doubt my abilities and skills, my possibilities and opportunities, and even further whether I should keep trying or not.
It is complex how the mind can work against me at times. But, as I want to use it to my advantage, I choose to do:
🌸 Breathe deeply and take breaks, because an oxygenated and rested mind thinks more about solutions than problems.
🌸 Talk and talk. It can be to bring up my situation to someone who can guide me with applied strategies, or I say what I think out loud. There are things that sound one way in the head and quite another in the mouth, don't you think?
🌸 Keep learning. I think ignorance would bind me to fear and uncertainty, instead of opening the door to opportunities.
🌸 Execute and trust. Putting hands and heart to work to push away complaining and negative self-pity, knowing that God willing things will be better than they are now.
🌸 And finally, eating a nice chocolate dessert occasionally. This will certainly reduce my stress.
I am sure that even if I do all this and more, the worry will still come to me, but I want to take control of what I can do.
In part her development is my responsibility, so I want (I hope) that what I fear so much is only in my mind and that in the end my hands will do much more than her, As I say to myself: "don't worry, be happy" 💜
Many thanks 🤗 to our friend @galenkp This was my selection for this week:

It's so true my friend @purpleglitter it's normal to feel worried about the things we lack. I've felt that way too.
Thinking about what I can solve has given me peace. I tell myself: tomorrow is another day.
Nice your article ☺️❤️👍 Success.
Yes, my friend @elizpc I know we are connected by feelings like these 🤗Keeping calm is a challenge, but it can be done one step at a time. Thanks to you for commenting my friend 💟
I see myself in your words, two weeks ago I became unemployed and I was kind of depressed because when I don't have anything to do, I felt useless, so I have to look for things to do to keep my mind busy.
I worried a lot about money too, for keeping me and my family well, in some ways is exhausting feeling this way.
Hi, sweetie @mangeliica96 🥰 Totally. I understand you. These are sometimes difficult situations. Then one wonders: what now? What do I do? And emotional health is affected. Step by step everything will take shape, you'll see. I wish you all the best 💟
I really liked your publication and I identified a little with it, having what we need in an economic sense helps us in a way to be calm, but when something is missing, the concern that invades us is not normal.
The tips you propose, are very good, jiji especially the part of the dessert 🤭, although I prefer arequipe hehe, hugs.
Exactly my friend @jemima1996 💞 It is inevitable that this will happen. We are concerned about the welfare of the family and ourselves. And well, money moves some things 😂
Long live arequipe! 😋 Thank you for reading me 💟
That's indeed a great way to put it.
It solves 90% of the problems in this world.
We all have our worries and fears and they are okay since we are humans and are meant to worry.
But then, I believe that the little we do today will end up adding to the big breakthrough we will enjoy tomorrow
Greetings @sperosamuel15 👋🏻 There is much truth in your words. Undoubtedly, concerns are going to exist. The important thing is, as you say, to do our part to add to the future. I liked your comment 🙌🏻 Thanks for taking the time to read my post and comment 🤗
You're welcome.
Goodluck in your endeavours too
Same for you 😃
I understand this feeling, for me it has been a point of concern to the point that my health was affected by it. Now I have been changing a little bit the beliefs and paradigms I had around money, and I put my health and my relationships in first place as well, at the end of the day, money although it is very important, it is an ephemeral value...
Hello beautiful @miriannalis 🌸 I send you a big hug in the distance 🤗 Thank you very much for your words. How nice to know that you feel identified. It is a human feeling, no doubt. Time always shapes everything, including our thoughts. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment 💟
