@chbartist, couldn't agree more. Human being has emotion and sometime when emotion takes over our logical mind, we would sink into various emotion such as worrying, anger, joy, excitement. Only when we step out of our body and mind to see ourselves from the upper level, then we can set the emotion we want for the body that our soul is in. Sometimes we worry about things that have not happened instead of embracing the potential good that are coming towards us.

Amazing words. Now why don't you spread the love with a upvote.

I like to think about "what is the worst that could happen" and then when I think about that and the fact that it's likely not too bad, it's comforting. Bring on the challenges of the day, I'm ready!

Excellent post, very well redacted! @originalworks

When we think about it, we get a beautiful knowledge that we gain knowledge about everything that works well.

I don't think you understand the very quote you have cited. This comment is clearly pointing out that worry is a wasteful endeavor that wastes valuable resources that could be spent more productively elsewhere.

If I could afford it, I would pay to have this shit flagged. And I fucking hate giving money to greedy cunts, so that would be difficult for me. But this post is worthy of betraying my code just because this is fucking embarrassing to see on the trending page- which is usually shit anyway, but this? This is just lazy, mate.

Just letting you know that this post will be featuring in my upcoming shitposts of month series. Congratulations.

lol harsh dude :P

what's harsh is what he had to experience in order to generate those truths..

the truth is never harsh to a lover of truth!

I really don't think so, but my ability to know what is normal is fading all too quickly.

You I totally get your frustration, I've read a few comments and posts about this subject that you have made. That being said, I think.. and I mean this with respect, that getting upset about it only drags you down.

Meaning, you are a good writer, I constantly go back to your safespace vr satire post, but i suspect that when you get worked up about shitposting and bot buying you don't enjoy your day as much.

Again.. I mean this as someone who reads you, you enjoys your content.. I don't worry too much about people who buy their upvotes because.

• i can't make investors remove them from the platform
• it would probably make invesment dry up in steem
• not all investors are content creators, nor want to
• the system/code allows it

I can be against it in principle, but i know that there is not a thing i can do. So I usually ignore, all the vote buying..

I appreciate this very much, but I'm really not who you think I am. I often come across as angry, because that's how people have been conditioned to respond to honesty, but in truth, it is incredibly difficult to anger me.

I will admit that I've not been as happy as I'm used to in recent months, but that's to do with much larger things than one lazy bastard buying his votes.

Again though, I do appreciate the concern, but you should know that a lot of the time I am just pointing shit out because no one else is, and I really feel someone ought to. At least I will never have to ask myself if I did enough.

>not all investors are content creators, nor want to

If investors know that they're not content creators then why they post posts like that?
Its very obvious that that kind of post is not worth that upvotes.
Its greediness IMO.
Many people are abusing the system and Steemit, Inc. just ignore them. If they don't ignore, they are much very slow in dealing with this issues. An upgrade or hardfork is needed on steem blockchain. Maybe they're already planning it or not do anything about it because as we know and see Steemit, Inc. has huge money in there.

agreed.

As I've said elsewhere, #philosophy is a bit of a shit-show at the moment. As an actual philosopher, I oscillate between embarrassment and outrage.

I'm about to say something shocking: The top tweets with the philosophy hashtag are generally better than the trending philosophy posts here.

Add Psychology to that. I've come to the conclusion that the most simple, watered down, and farthest from actual philosophy or psychology an article is, the more popular it will be.

I just checked the tag out, I was expecting my post to be near the top but it took ages to find it. I didn't realise we now had so many philosophers on here. Perhaps it is time for a series of important debates. It's time to revive the masterdebaters..

Shall we do this?

After living with major stress for many years i have learned to simply ignore it.

I might have bills, trouble with family or friends.. there is no point in spending alot of time stressing about it.

Think of a solution, then move on with life.

That is moving. Thank you for posting this. Needed it today :)

A great short post with a good message. Sometimes our biggest worries cripple us and it isn't until after we've moved past the situation we realise how much we were help back by worries that were never going to eventuate.
Well done @chbartist

Thousands of development posts, thousands of useful posts and this shit gets to #3 on Trending... bleh.

Agreed. Something seriously wrong here. Is there any thing one can do about this?

Seize the means of production?

Personally, I wish I could mute this sort of trashy account from appearing in my feed. I accept there's not much one can do about unfair distribution of rewards without a drastic change to the system.

I have an idea but it'll probably be misunderstood and ignored. I'll post it soon. It's a platform-wide fix that would increase the rate of steem creation immediately and we don't have to do anything further than unify intent as you're voicing here.

The perpetual roadblock with my solutions is often not many people connect the dots they rather reflex oppose anything they don't automatically understand. This place is broken until the numbers match the intentions of actual steemians like yourself.

I know how to fix it all at once with zero further work for anyone but I also know how people receive me across life. I'll post something soon you'll see what I mean. The fix is easy and always will be no matter the issue. It's the issues themselves that are difficult.

I'll await your solution with interest.

Also, I love that you've come here to eradicate capitalism. That's not sarcasm - as @benleemusic said to me recently, 'we can each begin where we are'.

unless you can convince all the bot owners to take their bots down, its pretty irrelevant what anyone thinks about the value or lack there of on any post.

Worry is especially pointless in situation that you have no power to change.

worrying could be good at times,because it also a call to action to solve the problems that caused the worry in the first place

Really nice depth in the photo. Come check out my profile.

So true Thankyou for sharring

Sometimes worry is compared with precautions and your commitment to do the right things and it shows your concerns about that but when we over do it that's the dangerous part.
As they say excess of everything is dangerous, so if there is balance then being worried is fine.

Negative thoughts bring negative results, but sometimes it is hard to stay positive.. Listening to motivational video helps a lot when you feel down.

suf1an (56) good job

Balance is definitely key, but also surrounding yourself with positive, uplifting people will help

Thank You, I needed that right now!:)

Thinking for mental excellence results in a lot of good results. Many times, excessive thinking makes people depressed, fears, but who think more and more, researches them to solve any problem, but they are ahead.That is to say, thinking is to liberate people.

An incredible short post with a decent message. Some of the time our greatest stresses cripple us and it isn't until after we've moved past the circumstance we understand the amount we were help back by stresses that were never going to eventuate.

"Worry does not empty tomorrow of sorrow - it empties today of strenght". Correctly

Excellent. What a outstanding post. Nothing to say it's just awesome.

Wow!
This little simple post is worth $420.23!
Amazing!
I guess it will still grow more than that after 7 days.

Wow!
How amazing is Steemit!
I love this platform!!!

No he paid for all of these votes, it is abuse of the system

If you agree with a post like this being rewarded, I suppose you would you pay me for taking a dump in your front lawn too?

I'm hoping it's sardonic. It sounds like what I would have said if I was trying to be an arsehole.

LOL I don't have that much hope when I see so many exclamation points next to amazing on steemit I don't see sardonic or sarcasm.

It's called sarcasm. Take a chill pill.

I see you're much better than I am. I'd best start following you.

BUYING BOT UPVOTES FOR THAT POST???

HOW SHAMEFUL!!!

https://media.giphy.com/media/4tOritRESjVra/giphy.gif

400$ worth too holy shit

Have you looked at what's trending in #philosophy lately? It's mostly bot-upvoted self-indulgent drivel. Worse, because it's pseudo-profound bullshit with a $100+ pending payout, people act like the author's got a hotline to the Buddha or something.

ahahah there is no "hotline"... Buddha uses Skype, silly people ;)

Hahaha. I thought he is using Viber? Hehe

He's kind of old school.... I mean he is still an ancient monk, can't keep up wit all the tech

I think it's normal for us to feel worried about something bad that has already happened but to feel worried of something that has not yet happened is really something that we should get rid of, such negative feeling could attract negative outcome too. So it's very important to stay positive as we can each day, no matter how hard life can be.

Nice

to calm down from worry, just be patient and make every problem a life lesson.

When you control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his actions. Nice article dear @chbartist.

First of all I want to thank you for your wonderful post. As humans. I think getting worried about something is a part of our nature but we can make a life balance to use it positively in order to prevent something. That will damage our life.

I don't think worrying will gain anything good. It will only get you some headache, sometimes heart attack :)

Right. And "not worrying" as also a skill harnessed. If a person really wants to stop, then he has to start practicing just that -- not worrying. Kind of like forcing a muscle to become weaker after you have trained it, when you really don't need it to be strong, and when, in fact, its strength works against you.

Anxiety is a worry about future events and fear is a reaction to current events....

Thank-you for spending so much of your own money to promote the #philosophy tag. I must say though, people reading this who then go on to study philosophy are in for a bit of a shock.

This post, it's pending payout, and how that payout got to be so high really helped me put my life in perspective. Getting a PhD, trying to write for both peer-reviewed articles and newspapers, as well as striving to perfect my teaching skills - Steemit, bid-bots, and the trending page care not for such things. It's like social media meets vanity publishing, but with less quality control.

Now that I understand this, I think my life will go from strenght to strenght.

"It's like social media meets vanity publishing, but with less quality control.
Now that I understand this, I think my life will go from strenght to strenght."

Yes. This. Thank you. ;-)

We should learn how to stop worrying and start living.

Thanks for this inspirational post....the part that struck me is this"worry does not empty tommorrow of its problem but empty today of its strength!!

don't give up my freinds
your amazing i very proud of you

Negative thoughts cannot be avoided but it can be lessened by surrounding yourself with good people. Friends and family maybe.

Now why don't you spread the love with a upvote.

Yep!

Short, yet meaningful post, but makes us wonder how this post got so much upvotes.

Then again, it's not for me to worry on this things. Be happy.

thank you for share

That's true, stop worrying for fuck sake ! That's always what I tell myself, it's just counter-productive ! Better keep efficient. It can be hard at times. But it's worth it.

Quite a useless post

Don't worry... Be happy!

Sometimes we create problems that are not even existent to begin with when we worry

worries come from lonely be in group then worries did not come toward you...

worry is when we are unsure of the result of our actions and may lead to anger to depression in the end. Controlling emotions will help eliminate worries.

Thank you for the reminder! I think I needed to read this today.

Helpful post. Hope you will write more like this @chbartist

Worries will not wipe out tomorrow's sadness, but it will eliminate the excitement of today. Therefore, take care of every thing that is worst and hope that something good will come and accept whatever is going on...

I have a question for you @chbartist
What about people that have mental illnesses? The likes of depression, PTSD, anxiety disorder...

This word really hit me.

There was a time in my life when I worried so much of certain outcomes and I thought of several things that could happen if that happened.

I lost my enthusiasm for living each day, I slip into depression and I could not concentrate on things I'm meant to focus on.

>The truth as you have said is that most of the things we worry about never come to play, worry won’t solve anything it will only cause damage.
Thanks for this

i have learnt to stop worrying ,worries can lead to depression and depression is dangerous to our health...

yes unfortunately worrying gains nothing! i was told its like rocking a rocking chair and trying to get somewhere although now i type this it doesn't make much sense lol maybe i have it wrong lol!

depends on what you do after worring. If you buy upvote,then you gain money :)

Wow this is a dangerous post @chbartist... This is the kind of post that wake people up to the truth the this is the acceptable year of God's grace. Thanks for being positive..

Don't worry! always be positve & busy to your own work.Smile :)

i just become your fan

I don't know if this is a quality post...but it is in trending. He has a good point but at least he should have broaden his topic, such as suggesting how to combat worry and what solutions to avoid worrying.

Okay, minor correction, the author's name is actually Corrie Ten Boom, and in the quote, "strength" is misspelled. It is one of my favorite quotes as well.

That said, I am in complete agreement with her quote, as all worry does is sap our energy, and produce nothing useful. Better to meditate and relax. It's far more productive.

I wrote a post about three weeks ago, in which I referenced "The Work" of Byron Katie, who through her Four Questions, leads people through the realization that their thoughts are only beliefs.

By seeing that we cannot know that our thoughts are absolutely true, we can let go of them and free ourselves. And one of the results of doing so is letting go of worry, which in the end, is only a thought, and thus a belief.

It's a nice read. We must understand that there are people who simply worry more than others. These people are pessimists, it's their nature, they always tend to see bad in the good.

This is bad though, but it's also good. Pessimists, people who worry unnecessarily have been observed in studies to have more rational thinking. Examining all the ways a thing wouldn't work out, they channel the most in to making it work. Pessimists do not gamble, people who worry alot get the target when they shoot, even if they don't always shoot.

Great Post! Your post is already in resteemed by @robotesteem. You can check in my blog list. Good luck!

@chbartist - powerful and to the point. As I like to say, worry is nothing more than meditating on a / the problem.

Nice.. be happy

Great angle! Love how the more vulnerable comes out this way!___

Keep on sharing! I'm an avid fan of yours. :)

I'll believe that! I wish all the best for you.

Nice post.. Worrying is a another way to add to ones problem instead have patience and never despair and believe that the best is yet to come

Very good points and a catchy title!

> Matthew 6: 27. Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life ? - Bible Offline

nobody can.... not one person. so no need to worry. like the song goes.....don't worry be happy

And worrying does not change what will happen, so in fact worrying is just a waste of time.

yes

such a lovely post .definitely there is two mind works for us every time and selecting one decision at a time can not guaranteed our success .of course we must have to get our confidence by practicing and proper concentration.avoid panic and worries is quite impossible but it can be possible to control in a certain range and that is my opinion. thanks everyone

So nice! I feel the same... Pls follow me and upvote back! I'm Vienne from the Philippines ;)

okay ..i will do that

It's a good read..

My favorite:
> Worry is a misuse of imagination!

Yes, definitely I agree because being anxious or worrying too much will never add to your lifespan! But a happy and calm heart makes your life longer.

very good point . excellent post thanks

you can not quench your worries though you would love to. The only thing a person can do to improve is to rationalize his worries or fears that lead to these concerns

When we are worry according to research that our complete work so fast that's why in worry our heart beat so fast and we also want to do everything fast and sometime our brain work like machine and sometime it will be dull

Please do educate us psychologically this way because worry breeds fear, while fear brings anxiety which in turn raises blood pressure resulting to stroke,hypertension and the likes.
The world is so possessed now that one must but fear!
I'm sure that is why prayer houses in the underdeveloped world are filled and con men are taking advantage of the economic downturn.
Help us develop this niche.
Thanks.

Timely post. i was just beginning to get worried about my wedding and stuff like that and I just happen to see your post on trending .I then decided to open it and read and honestly,i am feeling a whole lot better. i refuse to empty today of strength...cos i need it to carry on. Thanks a lot

one can worry, it's being human. but in the long run, we should always choose to be happy. 😊

Worrying is like a thieve, it gradually steals from us all leaving us physchologically disabled hence breaking us down, though we try avoiding the state of worrying, but it always encroches even without our conscent...nice piece

I always fell worried in my self everyday. Follow me chbartist and i will follow you. i'm a beginner .

who really meant to get what he hoped for

When we worry, we
ASSUME
Make and ASS
Out of U
and ME

Some people always worry about their future that's why they can't enjoy their present . while some of them always talk about their past. But I think whatever the situation comes in the life we should stay positive .

that's right friend, human virtue begins when we can control our emotions .. we are not the ones who decide when to be cheerful or sad, but we are the ones who can be able to decide if a certain situation collapses or raises us.

To achieve serenity at all times is a learning that can take a lifetime, of course in the exercise of the virtues of the human being as you say

that's right, that's exactly what my brother was talking about!

Absolutely right! :)

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmd8j8jEpxK9ifs31ytLujsBKrujziFKhjbKZ6VFeZeNAE/heartsad.jpeg]

It is ok to remember the past and worry about the future but it is certainly not ok to do it in extremes.

Totally agree with you. But I think we learn to be worried all the time from our parents and relatives, because since we were little they have been our mirror. So, now it is up to us to change it and like you say, stay positive in whatever situation or at least try!! THANKS! :)

👍👍

👍👍👍

This is the best comment I’ve read so far. Though we will be facing a lot challenges in life, we should always stay positive whatever happens. :-)

I have never known a case yet, where worry helped

This is very emotional, worry is a big killer diseases to life, like seriously. Thanks a lot @introvert-dim

yes but sometime it is not in our control to take tension and worries some time it is heavy on our mind and we can't leave it even we want.
anyway nice quote i like it and i like your nice thinking follow you for more good posts.

Thank you @numan-butt!

thanks for attention sir i want your further support as my senior follow you

should meditate to be calm. Thanks fot

Congratulation
i really like your post

waoo es difícil no preocuparse, pensamos demasiado, anticipamos resultados, y en ese proceso no disfrutamos el día a día, y es muy cierto las emociones actúan directamente en nuestra salud física. no pensemos tanto, no nos preocupemos, afrontemos las circunstancias por dificlies que sean, aunque suene sencillo, es cierto no lo es, pero bueno por que no hacer el intento? hay una lectura que me encanta del libro la culpa es de la Vaca que se titula "La Felicidad es el camino" disfrutemos cada día y no nos preocupemos por lo que suceda o no al final seamos felices en el camino que afortunadamente tenemos la dicha de recorrer en cada nuevo despertar que Dios nos concede... me gusto tu post gracias.

Gracias Usted!

very good post! the human being is a state of mind and we have to always keep that in mind, we have to understand that everything in life is learning, from birth, as we evolve until the day we die ... the most valuable thing we can obtain are the lived experiences, are those that make us worse or better person .. we just have to assimilate it and take the aptitude and attitude adapted to each adversity!

You're right, worrying can be completely counter productive. But very occasionally it doe open up another solution in your mind which saves the day or at least prevents more troubles.

This really make sense!

Really needed to see this right now. I'm constantly worrying that I'm not going to get hired. It's so dumb I have the credentials, but I'm afraid of people saying no. :( Thanks for posting!

Nice post, you're right

nice

Thanks for sharing this I'll keep on following your blog

Good job

I read a very interesting book on this topic called "The power of now" I recommend it because it has changed my way of seeing many things

Worrying is the first step to take care of something we need to solve. So that worrying helps the visualization of the alternatives or solutions that we merit to advance.

Being free and being able to let go is important. Fear and anxiety are vital to survival, but they can also kill your daily living (sorry maybe for bad english, i use deepl translate)

Nice article! It's short and simple yet it tells everything! So, in fact, the more we worry, the more hopes we get, right? Because holding onto our strength even in the darkest day is considerate as hope, isn't?

Even seeing the word "worry" makes me shiver 😫.

The only thing any person living should be worried about is Nothing❗

Give this life all you've got❗

There's no telling where you'll end up tomorrow, there's no telling what will happen today❗

Look up at the skies and say This, is MY life.

THIS, IS MY DAY ☝⭐✨

In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable - Dwight D. Eisenhower

We worry because we care, we care because we are human. Worries won't go away but can be lessened through planning for the worst and hope for the best.

Cheers!

I once asked an engineer friend why he's such a worrier and he responded that it's his job to worry. He said " I literally travel down every branch of my design looking for what could go wrong. I have to know when I launch this machine worth millions into the ocean, to be sunk to the depth of the cold sea, that it is going to work and collect data. All of the worry is in the planning prior to the launch." This helped me understand worry a bit better because I seldom worry and I come from a family who worry themselves sick.

If we worry, we let the cause of the worry win !

Don't worry , about the things, 'cause every little thing, is gonna be all right, baby don't worry, about the things...wrote the greatest Jamaican songwriter Bob Marley . <3

I came to the conclusion a long time ago that worrying about something you have no control over is a complete waste of time.

What will be will be.

Dont worry and focus on what you do have control over :-)

Really Wonderful

Surely worry is an essential human trait.
Our success (?) as a species can at least in part be attributed to our ability to foresee dangers and to plan for them.

With my experience i can tell you that worrying does not solve problems. It just devoids you of ability to finish the task.

The biggest struggle in life is with thoughts. With them we built castles and collapsed them like a row of decks

We gain nothing actually, instead we are endangering our health@chbartist, it is eyes opening post

@chbartist Very well said. Worry paralyses by taking our focus off the things we have control over to things we have no real control over. It's a natural human tendency that must be worked on if we will have real influence and power to turn situations ultimately in our favor. Beautiful piece!.

Very true. It helps to be conscious of ourselves as it's easy to work yourself up and not even realize what you are doing till you pay attention.

One thing most people don't know is that every one of us has capacity to conquer our fear and worries. The key is developing positive mindset.

Exactly ! worry and tensions can't give outcomes until we we move or work to resolve the matter(reason).

First of all, thank you for this informative post! This really helps enrich the content on the Steemit community and helped myself and others surely learn something new today!

We worry about our tomorrow and make our present suffer. that leads to problems in our mind for today and tomorrow which we can't deal with due to no power left in ous to fight.

Perhaps you unconsciously think that if you "worry enough," you can prevent bad things from happening. Very Good philosophy! Be optimistic!

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy. - Leo Buscaglia

Good

Wow... im a fan of yours already <3

The more you worry the more the situation become worst. 🙁

A therapist I once went to said "worry is a waste of imagination." I love reminding myself that 99.9% of things I worry about never materialize.

Such a amazing post.......

i understand your thoughts about worry.coz,we all are human beings we all are having same reactions on every bad happenings .so why not on worriness.even you believe in yourself at the last moment.because there is silver llinning behind every dark clouds.

thank you ranjitoram

You should enjoy the present moment. Thinking about the past makes you depressed (whether your past is good or not) and worrying about the future makes you anxious. Always enjoy the 'Now'!

VERY GOOD NICE POST

I know this feeling of worrying. Now I've learned to let those thoughts go. whenever I thought about bad things, I became sadder at first ... And life is to smile!

Too much worrying will sometimes or most likely lead to depression! :-(

Truth to that. Gone that road alteady, still is though.. 😯

Your right

@chbartist Corey Ten Boom was an incredible lady. She helped nearLy 800 Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust by hiding them in her home during WWII. She was later caught and sent to a prison camp. I remember my mom reading her book, the Hiding Place, and crying from the terrible things this woman went through. She was really a stong woman. She made it out and lived to be an elderly woman. I recommend watching her interviews, her positive attitude through it all is so uplifting.

Thanks for the post. When I was younger I used to worry a lot. Its was like I had some idea in my head that if i worry it will make it go away. Sometimes its not easy to stop worrying, because the mind (or ego) grabs us and takes control of our mind. A good tool for dealing with worry is to observe the mind and witness it as it worries. become the minds witness and you will start to see the worrisome thoughts as something silly or even ridiculous. Don't try to block out the worry. Let it happen and observe it. Only then will the worry lose its power and subside.

Im the biggest worrier. It keeps me from accomplishing so many things in life. Your post is exactly what I needed right now

Sometimes it is difficult, not to overthink about certain things in life. Thanks for the insightful article. It serves as a reminder to me as well @chbartist

When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile.

Pienso a igual que muchas personas que el preocuparnos no soluciona los problemas. Tenemos y debemos ocuparnos para pasar la situación y salir hacía adelante. Gracias

that's absolutely right!

Good information. Worrying does nothing good. It wires our brain for more of the same. When a worry comes to mind think about it for a minute and then say "cancel, delete and think of something you can be grateful for no matter how small.

Once again I will reply your work as photographer.

Good shot with sharp light dancing upon the face. In my eyes I would like not to flu the hair but this might be not available (depends of the f you use, the lens and what was photographer's position with the model).

But to be honest, very good portrait with nice sharp details.

>We are all human, we are all flawed, we all worry sometimes. But if we think back of the times we worried ourselves the most with outcomes, some of our worse fears never occurred... and here we are, still holding on with our strength.

I like!

Very nice post brother, i thing you so worry :D

Exactly, please don't worry about the huge amount of rewards this post has gobbled up.

Nice post

yes i agree that.

incredible, the words were amazingly beautiful.

representation take the time to meditate. thanks.

I have suffered from chronic episodes of depression and it got me in a land of nothingness, emptiness and despair. My health was shattered and the bar went down when I did not take health into account. My life's lesson is never to worry about things in life as they are temporary.

That statement is true, @chbartist, we don't have to worry about any current issue, as it will only complicate the situation of our life. Worrying must be avoided to allow us to become successful in the world of today, because there are many ups and downs in our lives, which may even result into pressure and confusion.
I am @gboyegaogunmola. I am a writer. I am writing article on the topic "psychological aspect of man". I want people to solve personal problems, through reading my "personality literature".
In counselling situations, too much worrying often create personal issues and problems, which can disorient the our view, feeling, and opinion. We don't have to worry about anything to the extent of having negative thoughts and feelings about ourselves.
I believe that, people who have worried their mind too much will become restless, and will easily misunderstand those people around them.
In fact, worrying ourselves is never the best way of solving a problem. Rather, remaining calm and being oriented to focus on the present situation is better than worrying so much.

he i have been upvote, please upvote backe thank

nice and motivating words, excellent publication.

nice write up... however, truth of the matter is that few of us are good at keeping our emotions in check or rationalising and keeping worry away. It's more like a skill that we need to practice and perfect.

AFter all, like the saying goes, we may not be able to control what happens to us, but we sure can control how we react to it.

Really Wonderful

Worrying doesn't helps.
Everything happens for a reason, instead of worrying, I seek help and ask for God's mercy.
I kneeled down and pray.
Then I will feel relieved and think what ever outcome will be has its purpose.

Don't say "if only..." for the past. Don't mess around with the concerns of the future. Take a lesson. Keep moving. Yesterday went with yesterday, my dear. How much is said belongs to yesterday... Now I have to say new things. Mevlana

Hello steemians. How is it that you people get high volume of vote? I'm curious to know. Thanks.

When we worry, emanated negative energies, based on actions of a future that we do not have security that can happen.

True, so very true.

I've remember Tomorrowland's slogan: "Yesterday is history, Today is a gift, Tomorrow is a mistery." We must have to chill the Today that was brought as a true gift, without some big life worries. Carpe diem!

worrying will not bring us anything. We should learn to live right here, right now. Worrying is a bad habit but we are free to choose a bad or a good habit. If you repeat a negative thought or act over a period of time you will be under the compulsion of a habit.

Interesting topic @chbaryist !
Worry often picks up momentum when we compare it to something from the past. ex: "The last time X happened, Y happened" Our ego/our mind only has the past to refer to for what the probable outcome would be. But if we could look at each thing separate and not attach it to "what could go wrong" and all the other "what ifs" we wouldnt worry so much... Practicing letting go of knowing, we can free ourselves from worry. ex: "I don't know what is going to happen, and I'm ok with that" (easier said than done, I know, but this sort of programming is possible)

I know this after curing myself of anxiety to an extent. I've learned to realize that none of what people think matters unless it is the people closest to me which I find the most honest. I have gained a lot of confidence in becoming a game developer, building a fan base, and developing my business, and I have learned to focus more on my work than what others feel. Maybe this can help some others that are struggling. Find something you love to do, and do it. Take Criticism, and learn from it, and you will find it extremely rewarding.

Upvoted!

This is word for thought, thanks a lot @chbartist
>Worrying is a process of thinking and visualizing a terrible outcome. Most of us know that its emotionally dangerous to go down this path, to experience anguish in anticipation of the worse. Is there something we could or should do?

This as really make me to learn a grate lesson

While it's natural to worry about stuff, it's important that we stay grounded in the present moment and focus on what we can control :)

We all are human & we have a heart but sometimes we can't forget our past. this past allways hurt for our present & future. Its like a emotionally blackmale for our life then we don't underatand what can we do & what to do? worry is day by day harmful for our life. so life live peace fully all is well..

What do we gain when we worry ? More worries 😞😞

This topic at first seems to me a useless one but then after having a very stressfull day at work and looking at my store numbers for this month since i am in retail sales got me really worried and i started to think about this post of yours .
But i gotta tell u when i got home and saw my son running to be baba baba i love you those were his exact words made me forget about all my worries and stop worrying also made me think about the changes i need to make at work to make it work lol.
Moral of the story is same as what ypu said worry about things dont do much but looking for a motivation and think of the one that needs u to ne sucess is everything .

Totalmente cierto. Es asi.

Thanks for the interesting post.

@chbartist it's always very tempting to worry but in the end it's not never healthy to encourage this thoughts

Love your series of topics @chbartist, let me join you on this attempt at worry. If i were to explain it to the average Joe, I'd say that worry and stress go together; the result of that is dwelling in the future with a negative perspective. I consider myself a thinker and I usually find myself contemplating human conditions, including death. A simple solution to this problem is meditation, because through the observance of your breath, your mind blind both past and future. There is nothing but now and I salute the Steemit community. Cheers

I always say, “worrying is like paying interest on a debt you may not even owe”. Better to be concerned than consumed.

Yes i totally agree with u....worry does nt give solution to problems instead it add to it.

That appointment is very right but worry is not just bad, because also worry brings positive things in our life for example: if you have to get to your work early because you are late in a project x worry at the time of leaving your home to get early is positive, as you arrive early you finish your project and what is left after? a total success, and if we need the concern. we could also see the concern as a method of prevention

worrying nothing makes beneficial to human life but it will utilizes your energy in different forms to make you week instead of adding positivity in your life.

Don't worry, be happy.
I'm thinking of song lyrics.

I have struggled with being a worry wart my entire life. Its all I knew and grew up with. When I met my boyfriend he helped me to realize that it's your choice how you live, worrying wont change anything at all, you just have to stay positive and everything falls into place!

hello my name is David Urdaneta, I would like to participate in this post because I bring an experience. 2 years ago my ex girlfriend was pregnant, in our relationship it was more the discussions than the good times.

We broke many times and came back many times more, in this process she ends up pregnant with my son now, I love him and I adore him but he suffered many problems because of arguments, legal problems and the simple fact that they did not want to leave me see.

In this process of conflicts of so much stress and worries, I get a cancer that I am going through at this moment, for so many worries I started suffering from non-hodgkin limfona, thank God I am already in the process of healing.

my advice is for all of you is, the problems of life are just that, and everything has a solution remember that the only thing that is not solved is death, be happy live life is never late and it is never early for the decisions of the Life God has a purpose for all, happy afternoon.

I agree and love the quote from Corrie Ten Boom. She would know about worry as she and her family were victims of the Holocaust and yet she placed all her faith and worries with God and that carried her through. Now, it doesn't always have to be a religious argument or preference that carries us thru daily life. For me it is. But I think anyone can acknowledge that they have no control over everyday life's events and never will have that kind of control. For some that is terrifying and they spend their whole lives trying to control control control....but I find it very empowering t acknowledge there is no control in the absolute sense and that I don't have to or need to be in total control. When I think like that I find a huge sense of relief and calm. Life is supposed to be an adventure with ups and downs. We learn and grow from them. Don't supress that. It's a vital part of being human and maturing.

Nice post. I think the most effective tool is to come back to the present moment through simple mindfulness of the surroundings and sensations. Also trying to create space between the thought and the reaction to the thought (fear) by asking the thought if it is trying to tell us something about a real danger or if it is just a harmless fearful thought we should not care about. In any case, just making space within the mind. I just wrote a post on the subject if you want to check it out :) Cheers !

That's true. Worry is a total waste of time. It plays with your emotion 😔

Up

So true. Worrying rarely changes the outcome.

Excelente blogs

Well done .. great post
It's okay to be worried ..
The worst is sadness and depression

I like the way the picture looks wrong,
but still is the perfect photo.
First of all i like black-white pictures because i think
colors can change the mood of a photo.
If you put the colors away, you can brighter see the moods in the photo the picture
You can almost feel what this guy feels.
To me it's like he's had too much to worry about,
and finally knows everything is going to be alright.
The next picture should be a smile as if he could beat the world!

Why i like the photo in black-white,
if you should take a look at this photo in color i would only think everything is alright

Great post!

Worrying does not change the outcome so why waste your time worrying it will only make you think about it more

yes, you worry to become strong.. ^_^

"Worry does not empty tomorrow of sorrow - it empties today of strength"

Writing this down!

We can neither go back nor see future. So, better enjoy the present moment whatever the situation is. Live in peace! BLESSING to all.

That is so true,
I often catch myself worrying about how I am going to pay all my bills on time, then I think like this why should we both worry

La complejidad del ser humano pasa por definir su propio perfil interior, cuestión que tiene su mayor expresión en las emociones. Decía Carl Jung: "La emoción es la principal fuente de los procesos conscientes. No puede haber transformación de la oscuridad en luz ni de la apatía en movimiento sin emociones".

Powerful sentiment!

Very good post chbartist you make a great effort thank you for your effortI like your post very muchYou can check my article about XXX7 - EIN KILLA and give me your feedback! You can find the article here XXX7 - EIN KILLA

Good quote. Reminds me of what someone once said: "If there's a solution to the problem, why worry? And if there isn't...why worry?"

Hello friend, my attention was drawn to that topic because nobody in this world is saved from a worry, that feeling of anguish, which manifests itself in the human being in many ways, is for some cause effect. Try to calm down Face it if, and give it way. Every pro has a solution. Soon I will be publishing my first post I hope you read it. I'm new to steemit.

Hmmmm!......nice post! "worrying"... I used feel upset when people say to me, "stop worrying " when I and they know and see the huge overwhelming mountain of problems in front of me. but I came to realize that the mountain may not even be as huge ND overwhelming as I thought.... worrying most times magnifies the mountains, drains your faith in God and take away your strength to fight the mountain. Then I started to tell myself to "stop worrying" because somehow the mountains just goes away... God shows up!... So now I tell others to "stop worrying" because the bigger the mountain, the harder it falls.

Love the way you described...would love read more like this...

Really beautiful .. wonderful words
Will not be sad who depend on God .and he always tries to make the right decision (be good)
Thanks for sharing. well done
