Thats a great outlook on life,lovely!
Seeing as i'm starting a new life with my new hubby maybe its time to start up with a different outlook on life!

Exactly, forget about the past (and beleive me, ive had a pretty crappy one) and think about the future. Life is what you make it so just be happy and enjoy it. Things are sent to test and try you but you shouldnt let it get you down, just look forward to the good things and take the rest in you're stride

I do try not to worry about something till it happens. Worrying just gives ya wrinkles.
But if I am worried depressed or what ever then I just constantly feed my sweet tooth.

I'll focus on the things I can change and not worry about them till they need it.

very similar outlook to me that.

I tend to be a worrier even my grandson has told me, If you worry you die, if you don't worry you die so why worry. Not that it made any difference, I go off my food and cannot sleep, and believe me I worry over the slightest thing, once got told If there was nothing to worry over I'd worry, because of the fact there was nothing.

Simple as
Dont worry be happy
and
Always look on the bright side of life

I try to live by the " don't sweat the small stuff" motto but if it's big stuff I struggle sleeping.

polly · 22-07-2008, 08:10

Im not a worrier, no point worrying about what you cant change.
But I am a bad sleeper, mainly cos head is too full of ideas, which is different to worrying.
to help you sleep try uhmmm breathing - from yoga and if that dosnt work try not sleeping!

I am one of Nature's pessimists but that means I don't get clobbered by the bad stuff (because I'm expecting it) and I'm pleasantly surprised when the good stuff happens. When something really awful happens I can't eat and I can't sleep. I try very hard not to worry about things and my waistline says, these days, I must be succeeding.

I'm quite good for not worrying too much about things.

I always tell myself that me worrying about something won't be affected by my fretting.

I'd much rather use my energy to try and alleviate what might be potentially a worry.

Perhaps it's like other things I don't do, like jealousy, or rage, it takes way too much effort.

Guess I'm just emotionally lazy.

SamF · 22-07-2008, 22:59

Quite topical for me this really, normally nothing can faze me but had a lot of bad stuff happen over the last month or so and it has got me worrying about absolutely everything, what is going to go wrong next sort of thing ... getting panic attacks the lot ... not good

SamF,

Take some time out to think properly about whats happened and what you could do about it, I bet there was nothing or very little. Such is the way of the world and its not going to change anytime soon. There is a study that the people who seem "lucky" are the ones who are open to experiences, embrace what comes at you , learn from their mistakes and appreciate that excrement happens. You will be a far stronger person if you take this attitude and be less fazed when the big stuff happens.

Good luck!
