Worry Tree



Hibbert, author of the memoir This is How We Grow, created “The Worry Tree” to help individuals redirect our attention, “where it is most productive, alleviating the extra stress and wasted time of prolonged worry.” First, ask yourself: “Is there anything I can do about this?” If you can’t, relinquish your worry. However, if you can do something, then ask yourself: “Can I do anything right now?” Often, there is an action you can take. But you need to wait to take it. Again, this is when it’s important to let the worry go, until you can act. {Source}

But what if you cannot find a solution now, urgent it may be, and you can't decide on it later?

    Bottomline, let the worry go. Worrying won't get you anywhere. Yan ang motto ko. :)

    I lifted up to the Lord all my worries, that's what I am always praying. And it works! :)

    I agree with Mommy Pauline! We can't free ourselves from occasional worrying. It's human nature. But when I worry, I pray. :)

    sometimes it is just very easy to let our worries drown us + get the better of us, but, yes, it is best to let them go + let God do the rest, right?
