Find the problem. Identify it. Give it a name. deal with it
“It makes no sense to worry about things you have no control over because there’s nothing you can do about them, and why worry about things you do control? The activity of worrying keeps you immobilized.”
–Wayne Dyer
This quote gives you a way in which to categorize and handle your worry load. You need to isolate the items that you cannot do anything about and realize that there is no reason to worry about them for that reason.
And then—then you need to make a list of the items on your worry list that can be controlled and go down that list, carefully taking care of one item at a time. As you remove each item you will become more and more motivated to complete the job. If you need help with the list, ask for it.
And keep on smiling
Everything is going to be all right.
John P. Schulz—“Sweetie Drives on Chemo Days.”
