Action

Me here. At work on Saturday again. This time 2 coworkers have joined me. It kind of makes the time go by faster. Although, I did have to share my popcorn!

Since I have been listening to The Worry Cure on cd, I have really been learning a lot about how I have used my anxiety as a crutch and an excuse to put things off, or take the easy route. Like, my ex-husband did something that kind of pissed me off last night, and I started ruminating about it - being pissed off, and then I typed him an email. Well, while I was typing the email, I realized that I was taking a coward's approach (as usual), and I decided to give him a call later and give him a heads up on how I am feeling about what he did. I told myself to put off worrying about it until later on this afternoon. And wow! What freedom!

Also, I have discovered that a lot of my worry hinges on procrastination. I procrastinate with everything! And that huge source of worry and anxiety for me.
My dog needs heartworm medicine. Well, I have worried about that for 2 weeks now...so, today I am going to go and get it so that I can STOP WORRYING about it.
How freakin easy is that???????? I am beginning to think that I like the torture of worry. It gives me something to do. Well, it GAVE me something to do. Not anymore! I am putting ACTION into my worried thoughts. If it is a problem that I can solve, I will come up with a solution, if not, I will let it go. Action.

Now lets just hope I remember to pick up the heartworm medicine on the way home today. Wish me luck!
