Well I can definitely quite an ironic post. Being the queen worrier, the queen drama queen, the queen of making things a bigger deal than they are. The fact that I'm even writing a post to advise anyone on worrying is a huge deal. But I've definitely learnt a thing or two and realise that by focussing on our problems doesn't solve anything. 

Which is why I'm deciding not to worry anymore. Why? Because it's getting boring and I'm tired of it. 

Here's some ways to stop worrying. 

1. De-focus 
Change what you focus your attention on. It's hard. I know it's hard. It's hard when you have no money and you're worrying about how you're gonna pay bills. And as natural as it is to worry it doesn't actually make the situation any better, but magnifies the situation making you feel worse. 

So change your focus. Try to focus on the good. Right now I'm unemployed because I lost my job. But (as hard as it is) I'm trying to focus on the fact I have soooo much more free than I had before to focus on the things I'm passionate about, enjoying the summer, reflecting on life and what I want out of it. 
Changing my focus has really helped & I know my situation won't be this way forever! 

2. Forget about false fears 
Fear is really False Evidence Appearing Real. Fear isn't reality. The things you worry about happening most likely isn't going to happen and won't ever happen. But we get so caught up worrying about things that could happen that never will or do end up
happening.

So instead of dwelling on these fears - forget about them and pour them down a drain. Because seriously it isn't worth focussing on your fears. It isn't worth wasting your time on things that won't happen. 

3.  Slow down. 
(And Calm down) 
Stop being so frantic about everything and slow down. I realise that when I'm running around in circles worrying and trying to figure out a way to solve my problems I turn crazy. But deciding to slow down, relax and put life into perspective changes a lot. 

Slowing down and reflecting generally helps the way you feel. I usually try to reflect on the fact that God has created me therefore He will take care of my life. No matter what is going on He will solve my situations. (And it's the same for you). 

God has got every single one of your situations in His hands and is taking care of them. So stop worrying. Worrying takes away the opportunity to enjoy today when you're too busy thinking about tomorrow. 

So I'm deciding to enjoy my today's and not worry about what's going to happen tomorrow. Because it's all under control!
