Caught Up In A Worry Loop

Sometimes I find myself caught up in a worry loop.

I stress over people, places, and situations I have no control over.

This mental obsession of digging for reasons, purpose, or solve imagined problems is exhausting.

I try to think about happy possibilities.

But, the need to perseverate on a fixated worry is persistent.

It feels as if I’m constantly trying to solve a potential threat to my well-being.

This results in my ability to be out there in the world.

As if I’m too sensitive for my own good; too fearful for my own good.

Eventually though, I find my way back again.

Back to my joyful self.

Let It Go

When I start to come through the other side of my worry loop, I realize how pointless it is.

I can’t control anything beyond myself.

I start to feel free.

I relate to these lyrics in the well-known song Let It Go, from Disney’s movie Frozen:

The fears that once controlled me
can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I'm free!
Let it go...
Let it go...
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go...
Let it go...
