Worrying is holding on to problems without seeking help.

The Sky's the Limit: Go for the Gold!
Worrying is about living in a "what if" state of mind and visualizing what you DON'T want to experience, instead of what you DO! When your mind gets stuck on a negative thought, it automatically shifts into high gear and tries to fix the situation.

Worry affects the circulation, the glands, the whole nervous system.

The person doing the worrying experiences it as a form of love; the person being worried about experiences it as a form of control.

Don't be forecasting evil unless it is what you can guard against. Anxiety is good for nothing if we can't turn it into a defense.

Worrying is designed to weaken us so that we don't overcome.
ANGELA NAYLOR
No One Sees My Pain
Worrying is a sort of security blanket for us. It keeps us moving and is a constant part of our conscious. This is also one of the biggest struggles of overthinking everything. We worry about problems that aren't relevant and that may or may not emerge in the future.

Worry is evidence of unbelief and proof that there is deep insecurity caused by a lack of oneness with God.

Worry is a fidgety girl who can't do things right. In the morning she dresses herself but the clothes don't fit. Worry is slim. Worry is fat. Worry is never what she wants to be.

Reiki: A Spiritual Doorway to Natural Healing
The problem with worry is that we attract the very thing we are trying to avoid. We live a self-fulfilling prophecy. Life keeps its agreement with us through our beliefs, because whatever we think about, we bring about. Life is like a mirror. It reflects back whatever image we present to it.

Never hurry and never worry!
E. B. WHITE

Another thing about the action of worrying is that once you're at the point of worrying over something, you've taken yourself out of the fast lane of your soul's journey. If I'm worrying about something, this immediately tells me my footwork is done, and I've gone far enough. To keep worrying over something past the finished footwork is to send a lot of mixed messages out into the universe. Worrying is a state of being and creative process, just the same as wondering is. Stay focused on the positive one (wondering) and you'll get to sit back and let life come to you, instead of the other way around.
