Most worry is related to attachment. We’re often concerned about our health, loved ones or possessions. But only in the most exceptional circumstances is this fear in reaction to what’s actually happening in this moment. Dropping the habit of worrying about potential losses not only allows us to forego unnecessary anticipatory discomfort, it helps keep us present so we fully enjoy what’s happening right now. When we’re present and a problem does show up, we will know how to deal with it. If something needs to change, we’ll be poised to…
Change it.
I need to comment just to unload I guess as I am a mother to 2 adults 25 and 27 and my daughter. 25 is struggling with health issues from fibromyalgia or ligment problems and is depressed . Yes I worry about her and wonder how i cand help and support her. This COVID pandemic has been very hard particularly on young people like her who had a social circle that was attached to her classes. Also for her health doctors can not see you in person.
I’m so sorry to her about your daughter and I get it. Life has been very challenging this year. Not worrying isn’t always easy but it’s worth the try to develop a practice to help calm the fear and anxiety. Suggest she read “The Pain Relief Secret” by Sarah Warren. There are also natural remedies to take that can help. I’ve had anxiety myself and know the value of a daily practice and natural supplements. Be Serene is a great supplement and PYM is good, check them out for her and help her develop a gratitude practice. It’s super important to refrain from reading or listening to the news until she feels more balanced and free. ??
