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?
My favorite quote on this topic is from a very famous Author - Carrie Ten Bloom
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.
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 .
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! :)
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! :)
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. :-)
It is ok to remember the past and worry about the future but it is certainly not ok to do it in extremes.

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
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.
Very good points and a catchy title!
nobody can.... not one person. so no need to worry. like the song goes.....don't worry be happy
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.
Really Wonderful
My favorite:
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
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
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.
Well done .. great post
It's okay to be worried ..
The worst is sadness and depression
Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy. - Leo Buscaglia
Don't worry, be happy.
I'm thinking of song lyrics.

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 :-)
Amazing words. Now why don't you spread the love with a upvote.
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.
Thousands of development posts, thousands of useful posts and this shit gets to #3 on Trending... bleh.
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.
Agreed. Something seriously wrong here. Is there any thing one can do about this?
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'.
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.
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.
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!
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.

Yes. This. Thank you. ;-)
"**** posting Anda sangat bagus, saya suka dan mengikuti Anda, saya harap Anda membantu memperbaiki reputasi saya, terima kasih.****
****your posts are very good, I like and follow you, I hope you help improve my reputation, thanks.***
Thank you friend!
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'!
Keep on sharing! I'm an avid fan of yours. :)
I'll believe that! I wish all the best for you.
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
That is moving. Thank you for posting this. Needed it today :)
Helpful post. Hope you will write more like this @chbartist
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!
Great Post! Your post is already in resteemed by @robotesteem. You can check in my blog list. Good luck!
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
Excellent post, very well redacted! @originalworks
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.
Wow... im a fan of yours already <3
Thank You, I needed that right now!:)
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.
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
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.
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!
to calm down from worry, just be patient and make every problem a life lesson.
@alwihidayatilyas
followed you already
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.
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
I always say, “worrying is like paying interest on a debt you may not even owe”. Better to be concerned than consumed.
Don't worry... Be happy!
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.
BUYING BOT UPVOTES FOR THAT POST???
HOW SHAMEFUL!!!
lol
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
how shit can be holy ?the universe wants to know
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.
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?
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 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.
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.
Yes i totally agree with u....worry does nt give solution to problems instead it add to it.
Too much worrying will sometimes or most likely lead to depression! :-(
Truth to that. Gone that road alteady, still is though.. 😯
Love the way you described...would love read more like this...
