anxiety

Thoughts on anxiety.

A friend of mine has anxiety issues.  She is a control freak.  Anytime anything does not go her way, she gets bouts of anxiety, even panic.  Anytime something looks like it might not go her way, anxiety sets in.  Sometimes when things are great she is anxious that something bad might happen.

She asked me for some advice.  Here I go.

Stop tying to control things.  You cannot control everything.  Stop thinking that things should go your way.  Just allow life to happen.  Some of the things that you thought were bad will turn out for good.  We need to learn to live with the bad.  A bum knee, abdominal adhesions, family problems, the aging process, and eventually our own death.

Life is going to happen.  Let's stop thinking that we are in control.  Let's learn to enjoy the ups and the downs.  It is all good and it all goes by so fast.  Don't waste another moment worrying when you could be savoring life.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
