Obsessive Worry

I tend to be a person that worries. I have to be really careful. I get this wonderful trait from my mother. (smile) Sometimes I create scenarios in my head. It can get carried away sometimes, and I have to bring myself back into check.

I find myself questioning: 1) Did I leave the stove on? 2) Did I leave my curling iron plugged in? 3) Did I close the garage door? 4) What was that noise downstairs? 5) Did Michael make it to work safely? 6) Are we going to be safe? 7) What will we do if Michael loses his job? 8) What will the boys do for work and career? and so much more.

When the boys were little, I would worry about them choking or if they were breathing at night?

My mind in these moments is constantly thinking. I cannot sleep. I cannot stop my mind.

This is something I am trying to work at constantly. I am working at trying to slow my thoughts down and trying to be more rational. I am working on giving it all to God. I am trying not to worry about things that I have no control over.

Here are some great quotes that I found about worry.
