All I have to say is thank you for posting this. Chronic worrier and anxious existing, I have to say that this is very good advice.

Not watching the news is good too, I'm such a soft touch that I end up upset for hours afterwards a lot of the time. Kas - Yes, stress definitely affects your body - my skin gets worse! Sheena - glad you found something that helps. I think the goal isn't to completely eliminate worrying (because that could probably be bad), but to get it down to a much more reasonable level. Wendy - I totally do recommend meditation!! It helped me out so much. Yifen - I don't think there's a problem with wanting to help your friends out at all, but sometimes people will take advantage of that and you end up shouldering their burdens for them - that's the sort of situation I was talking about. And hi, welcome :) Thanks, Danielle! :D Alicia - yoga is lovely. It helps you physically too, to boot! (I can touch my toes for the first time in like, EVER. It's a big deal for me, haha!) Miss Peregrin - Being outside on a nice day is SUCH a boost for the spirits, to be sure. Thank you Elisa & Anastasia! <3 So glad you all liked the post!

I really enjoy your blog, thanks for doing it! I feel like a lot of people aren't very introspective and most people don;t just stop and try and figure out what is wrong. I have to sit down and rationalize my way out of it or I will be useless all day. Anyways just wanted to let you know I dig your blog. .-= Anastasia´s last blog ..<a href="http://sweetbutterbliss.blogspot.com/2010/01/picture-les.html" rel="nofollow">A little...</a> =-.

Sometimes the only person who can help them, is them. Yoga is wonderful. I have depression, and yoga made me feel a lot better when nothing else did. I now try to practice every day/every 2nd day. I also try to do more of my exercise outdoors, and that helps me very much too. .-= Miss Peregrin´s last blog ..<a href="http://missperegrinssecrets.blogspot.com/2010/01/can-you-buy-self-esteem.html" rel="nofollow">Can You Buy Self-Esteem?</a> =-. “You are not obliged to solve everyone elses’ problems all the time.” <– Best advice ever.

Great tips for working through it. I find humour helps a lot (George Carlin's routines in particular seem to assuage me), and in my case calling my Mom always seems to help me most when I'm full of worry, which is funny because Mom is a bigger worrier than I am. p.s. congratulations on the IFB spotlight =) “Worrying does nothing except ruin today,” someone told me once.

Hmm yeah. Yoga really does wonders! I used to go to some free classes Saturday morning at a local Lululemon store, but I have class Saturday mornings now. You definitely hit a point with the trigger one. Although I don't really watch news, I <i>do</i> feel obligated to solve my friends' problems and make them happy. I guess I know it's not my problem, but it makes me happy when they are :) hey! ^^ I found this through the IFB site.

I'm a huge worrier and I attribute some of that to my being a Virgo, but I have probably aged myself with all of the worrying that I do. I'm determined to stop worrying so much this year and in the coming years, because as you said, it doesn't change the situation. I've also found that exercise and yoga (especially hot yoga) have been very helpful in clearing my mind and helping me feel better physically and emotionally. I don't know if I'll ever stop being a worrisome person altogether, but every little bit helps :) This is a wonderful post!
