Why Are We So Locked-in With WORRYING?

 

Worries anyone?  Of course we do WORRY as and WHEN.  BUT experts tell us that WORRYING is a woeful misuse of the imagination.  YES it might seem as though running obsessively over our life challenges in our heads is, in some way, are indeed helpful BUT the reality is, it NEVER is.  Let's look at our very own selves.  HOW many times did we WORRY in life through the years.  Surely it's a lot, AS IN.  BUT think about it, after all your WORRYING, did the world actually change?  IF there were changes, I would dare to say that physically and/or mentally, I felt worse than prior to that WORRYING saga.  WHAT's our take here:  WORRYING has a role and a purpose and it is to make us LESS effective and MORE anxious.  NOT even less than that.  So, WHY ARE WE SO LOCKED-IN WITH WORRYING???

We may NOT an excessive WORRIER but perhaps, sometimes we unconsciously think that IF we WORRY enough, we can prevent bad thiings from happening???  BUT even medical experts advise us that WORRYING can effect our body in multiple ways that may surprise us laymen.  And WHEN WORRYING does become excessive, it can lead to feelings of high anxiety and may even cause us to be physically ill.  The $64 question is WHAT really happens with excessive WORRYING???

Studies have shown that excessive WORRYING may be the very vehicles for one to end up with high anxiety OR worse, even panic [even during waking hours].  Various studies had chronic WORRIERS as respondents confirm of feeling that sense of 'impending doom' OR even unrealistic fears that only exacerbated their WORRIES.  YES, we DON'T need to be psychologists to agree that WORRYING really interferes through our life, and even if the impact is superficial, the severity can be anything bad or even worse💧💧💧

Multiple studies showed that many people WHO excessively WORRY are so anxiety-ridden so much so that they end up seeking relief in those harmful lifestyle habits such as overeating, smoking OR worse, even alcohol and drugs.  And while anxiety is defined as a normal reaction to stress, ongoing anxiety though, may be the result of a disorder such as generalized anxiety disorder or worse, panic disorder❎❎❎

Our takeaway:  Please DON'T get me wrong.  Normal WORRYING is perfectly fine.  LIKE WHEN I first joined the jobmarket fray straight from university.  LIKE WHEN I was going through a battery of recruitment tests, both written and verbals.  LIKE WHEN I first became a part of a true-blue MNC organization.  LIKE WHEN a NOT a brand-new car literally fell into my lap WHEN my office colleague cajoled me to take on and assume his ongoing car loan with our company.  LIKE WHEN I decided to take the risk of flying off to Singapore incognito to eventually become a naturalized citizen there.  All those situations made we WORRIED enough.  BUT WHY ARE WE SO LOCKED-IN WITH WORRYING???
