A point comes when you realise none of the things you are currently worrying about actually matter. Worrying does nothing but make you miserable, anxious and confused to name a few. Unless it pushes you to take some sort of action worrying is pointless,  it will leave you paralysed in overthinking.

Breathe and let it all go.

The mind can be very good at playing tricks on you when it’s consumed by worry, we create issues, imagine outcomes, wonder what if’s.. really it is all an illusion.

Is life itself not an observed perception of what we believe life to be? Will worry not distort what you believe, changing your perception and therefore the outcome, the image you see as life? No? Maybe it’s just me.

Either way I say, why not strip it back and live life with less worry.

Whatever your thoughts, the less you worry the easier life will become. A simple life.

Here’s a few quotes from over the years from some great minds relating to worry.
