Reminder

It's so easy to get anxious about the world, things happening, and feel the burden. This extra weight, of global and national and local issues, really adds to my anxiety and stress load. I cannot be alone with this.

I must remind myself--Discover what you can do to change the balance. If you can doing nothing,you need to let it go. Adding someone else's concerns to your anxiety basket is never going to make it lighter.

I am a current events nut, admittedly. I follow political happenings pretty closely. There are things happening right now that stress me out. I need to save the outrage and follow the axiom--Be the change you want to see in the world.

Be active,not passive.

LOL, Power. I was using politics as an example. This board, however,avoids politics and religion, as these things are personal belief systems and have nothing to do with our health, except tangentially.

So my apologies--I lead you to it. My bad. I could have used any example, really, to illustrate that some issues in life need to be left off the anxiety list, since they are not of our causing and we aren't really a part of the solution.

I am crazy enough. decompression and mindfulness. switch the idiot box off I do. most is sensationalized bs.

good reminder. responsible for yourself first.

good on ya cilly. it's proactive and for you, nobody else.
