I am constantly over-thinking situations. Even in the small, no-big-deal kind of situations, I will find a way to make something into a big deal. Worrying is what I do best. I stress about anything and everything, from school to work to extracurriculars to whatever else I might have going on at a particular time.
Stress keeps us awake at night. It is getting to a point where stress is actually taking over not only my mind but my body. My mind is all over the place. As I am sitting here typing this, I realize this is not healthy at all.
I am sure I am not the only one who feels this way. I know there are many who find themselves constantly in a puddle of stress and worries daily. This letter is not only to the girls (and guys) who are constantly worrying, but to myself. I know I am the problem of many of my worries, but what I do not know is how to fix this problem.
The worries you have are all made up in your head. For me, anytime I worry about something — whether it be a test or a certain job — I will make up the worst possible case scenarios in my head. Nine times out of 10, my scenarios I make up in my head never happen.
So, why do I put myself through all that trouble and worry?
Do not get me wrong, it is fine to stress over some things. It is not fine to stress about everything. What I am trying to learn is to take life one day at a time. I am guilty of stressing over the things I cannot control. No matter how difficult life gets, we have to all learn to see the light and the positivity of each day. Life is beautiful. We only get one life, and we need to live it with joy, not worry.
