Do you worry everyday?

I came to the realization that I worry everyday. Not that I put myself into a depression, but that there is always "something" to worry about.

For example I worried yesterday about getting some personal work finished and thought, "as soon as I am done I can relax", so I finished my work then about 5mins later started to worry about finances and my fiance's job. She called and said everything was fine at work now, so I could relax. Then 5mins later I started to worry about getting some prep work done for our wedding. Got that out of the way, then the next worry came, done, worry, done...etc etc.

I am only 28 now, but to some of you older guys does life ever get to a "worry-less" state? Or does it get even worse after having kids, mortgage, saving for their college, etc?

You would think that people who live in abundance (compared to the older times) and freedom would be buzzing. Well it still spirals to the same place don`t it? I`ll offer my solution:

People who worry have tense muscles (from myself of course), and that induces further discomfort. First you stretch all those muscles, allow the nerves to free up, breathe into your lungs like bellows... Feel all the ribs and back click. The difference yoga brings is immense. Its so developed for such a long time it can`t be dated back....

How can an animal with tense muscles rest... Stretching comes naturally. Don`t forget, our thoughts are controlled by our very basic instincts. Only by controlling those you can control your thoughts, and obviously vice versa (why do people fast?). Problem here is that your thoughts already control you, thats how you were brought up, you had no idea.

Now the issue here is you know you don`t want to worry, but you can`t help it. You don`t have that control over your mind. Can you do it?

Meditation is the way forward. As much of it as you need, understand that its to make you a better person, its your challenge and you need nothing but will. Do it with reason, not with expectation. I do about an hour daily now, and I did 5 hours of it the other day. Just getting into it!

I will ask here, are you willing to take control of your mind, and get it to do what you want it to do? Or will you just say go with the flow... need to change your job, change your relationship, get a new car... What ever is what I`m gonna say you need nothing

Whenever I worry, I switch on a nice wise voice and remind me of all the things I need to remember. I can`t take control? Off to meditate and stretch for an hour... If I had to, I would fast for days on end to take control.

Also psychedelics help a great deal, using them for shits & giggles doesn`t help a great deal. You would obviously have no clue about their medical benefits though, I mean marijuana was poison some years back?

If you think this is 'mumbo jumbo shit', go worry about something else
