WORRY IS A HABIT
Habits are powerful things. Habits turn actions into attitudes, and attitudes into lifestyles.
~Charlene Armitage
We break the worry habit and lifestyle when we realize:
We can choose to stop deceiving ourselves or making excuses to justify why we worry.
We can choose to replace worry with…
Awareness (facing – not denying worry)
Acceptance of what we cannot change
Action - taking reasonable action & changing what we can
(if and when possible)
