A new study has found that we spend an average of one hour and fifty minutes a day worrying. Work, money and being late are the most common worries. However, it turns out that the listeners of The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show are pretty zen....
Worry but know that worrying is as useful as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing gum! (Or something like that) Baz Lurman, always use sunscreen! Cheers Ian, Jude
Hi Ian, I have type 1 diabetes and suffer from anxiety so I worry A LOT. I kinda have to unfortunately because everyday is a challenge but I totally agree that you need to live in the present as much as you can but sometimes that's hard. The best thing I have found is to not expect too much of yourself or others. That has halved my worries! Claire
Iano, my motto is 'Ya worry ya die, ya don't worry ya still die so, why worry?' Same for panic! Working well it is!
Worry is interest you pay for a problem . Mick in Dun Laoghaire.
And if that didn't calm you down, here are some more words of wisdom from some stress-free people...
If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever. Dali Lama
Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight. Benjamin Franklin
I never think of the future - it comes soon enough. Albert Einstein
AND BREATHE..........
