Worry

If worrying were an Olympic event I could be a gold medalist.

I find that 3:00 am is the best time to practice this skill.  If you are interested in honing your worry skills, try this:  Wake up while the rest of the world is peacefully sleeping and dreaming of all sorts of wonderful things.  Figure out what could go wrong in life.  Mull.  Try to think of something else and discover what could go wrong with that.  Mull some more.  Toss.  Turn.  Flip the pillow (I can't do this one anymore, because I have a waterbed for my head, but I highly recommend it).  Finally, look at the clock.  Think about how tired your going to be the next day because you aren't sleeping.  Get up and go to the bathroom.  Crawl back into bed and check that clock again.  It's the constant looking at the clock that really adds to the worry experience.  Whatever you do DON'T get up and do anything.  Don't make a list of things to accomplish in the morning.  Don't read a book or try to distract yourself.  After all you will never fall back asleep if you're not in bed with your eyes closed.

I don't recall a time when anything I worried about came to fruition ~ this can mean one of two things: 
1.  There really is no reason to worry.  Things are never as bad as they seem at 3:00 am ~ and you can't do anything about it at that time anyway.   You might as well get a good night's sleep so you can take care of life in the morning.

2.  Worrying works.
