Worrying is the magical thinking that worrying can prevent disaster. Worrying is anxiety in control. Worrying is belief in anxiety as some kind of god. Worrying is making stress and conflict now for imagined stress and conflict in the future. Worrying mistakes anxiety for action.

KEVIN EVERETT FITZMAURICE

Worrying is only useful if it makes us aware of something that needs to be remedied, allows us to resolve the situation and move on. It is bad for us when it constantly fills our mind and we take no action or remain preoccupied. It wastes time and energy.

There are very few things in the mind which eat up as much energy as worry. It is one of the most difficult things not to worry about anything. Worry is experienced when things go wrong, but in relation to past happenings it is idle merely to wish that they might have been otherwise. The frozen past is what it is, and no amount of worrying is going to make it other than what it has been. But the limited ego-mind identifies itself with its past, gets entangled with it and keeps alive the pangs of frustrated desires.

MEHER BABA

Discourses


Worry is like a stream of fear trickling through man's mind, which if not controlled will flood and drown all other thoughts in the mind and overtakes the mind entirely.

Worrying is not looking for a solution, but just reviewing the "problem" over and over.

MELVIN R. HALL

Worry depletes you of vitality, enthusiasm, joy and peace. Worriers don't have much enthusiasm for living, as they can think of too many perils that might occur.
