Other People’s Actions

Have you ever got caught up in worrying over other people’s actions? Maybe you took it personally. Most of the time, it isn’t even about you but about something that has to do with their own personal life and circumstances. One of the first things to stop worrying about is other people’s actions. Make a decision to not let the actions of others affect you.

2

Things out of Your Control

A lot of times, we waste time worrying over things that are out of our control. We may worry over whether a loved one will become sick. We might worry what will happen if there is another downturn in the economy. While we all have moments of concern over things out of our control, it isn’t healthy to allow your mind to get stuck there. Choose to focus your thoughts elsewhere.

3

The Approval of Others

This is a big one. Most people fall into this trap at one time or another. You worry about the approval of others. And while everyone wants to have approval, you should not change yourself or your choices in life to achieve that. If you know you are living the best life possible for your true self then you can let this one go.

4

Being Popular

Being popular is something that is a waste of time worrying about. Being popular rarely means anything important. Life shouldn’t be about gaining popularity by wearing the right clothes and moving in the right circles. Choose to be yourself, which is a much more likeable trait. This may end up gaining you popularity as a side effect of that choice, anyways.

5

Keeping up with the Joneses

Many people worry over if they have as nice a car or if they take as nice a vacation as others in their social circle. This is something that isn’t good to worry over. You take your focus off enjoying your life and onto material possessions and competitiveness. Decide to be happy for those that may be a little more affluent than you are. Be thankful for the things that you do have instead of comparing them to the things of others.

The Future

It can be very difficult not to worry about the future. After all, you are very well aware that both good and bad things await you in the future. But it is a better choice to live in the moment and enjoy all that each day has to offer. Realize that all you can do to have a great future is to make the best choices you that you can. It can also be reassuring to remind yourself that you have the ability to handle whatever comes your way.

Things You Cannot Change about Yourself

There are some things you can change about yourself. You can change your weight, your style, your hair and many other things. But there are some things that you cannot change, at least not without the aid of a surgical procedure or other very drastic measures. Maybe you don’t love your nose or that you have very fair skin. It is pointless to worry over these things since they are out of your control. Make peace with your body the way it is and move on.

What about you? Have you struggled with worrying over any of these things? This can be a difficult habit to break.

True :)

Why would someone worry if they have a very fair skin? Is there something wrong with being very fair? I think it is a wrong example to give.
