Stop Worrying - Why Worrying is Pointless

Please hit that red SUBSCRIBE button - to get more videos like this

We have a tendency to worry a lot about things we have no control over. Focussing on things outside of your control can easily make you feel overwhelmed, especially if you have a tendency to become consumed in thoughts about all the things that COULD GO WRONG, all the things that AREN’T RIGHT in your life and how powerless you feel…

It’s not helpful, and only leads to feeling worse. In short, worrying is pointless.

In fact, a 2005 study found that 85% of what we worry about, never happens!

So instead, make a conscious decision to stick with what’s within your control. Make choices. Be grateful for what you have. Seek support if you need it. And take considered action.

Lately, I started worrying because when I stopped worrying bad stuff happens. Now, my mind is convinced worrying prevents the problems.

It’s easy to say don’t worry when you’re financially good. If money is a problem there’s always worry, and it’s real and it’s justified as much as it sucks.

[charcoalelement]

Yep. Action is the Solution. Taking Action is the #1. real solution to stop worry. No time to worry if your busy taking action steps to fix the issue you were worrying about. Some things are completely not in our control and we can only accept that fact and move forward.

Thanks ma'am actually i am living my life as a failure... I have totally destroyed my teen age life And i always feel bad about it!
I am 20yr old and i have failed in an extrance exam again.
My life has literally ended.
And i am totally responsible fr it. I always wish if i could get, like a time machine or something so i could improve myself from the past.
But its not possible...

I dont want to give up...
Its my dream to start a business.
I dont want to regret when i am old, that i couldn't do anything in my life !!! i am going through some suicidal thought, once even planned to end up! But dont even have guts forit. All my old friends are successful in what they where doing...

I've been giving an entrance exams, for some higher education.
But after failing in it i came up with an idea of a startup.

And i think it will be okay ....
i will study hard again for that entrance exam, will clear it and i will start my own startup. Its ok i still have my 20s left with me, cant waste it....
I dont have any friends to talk with.
So i decided to share what i feel overhere.
I know you are busy and wont read this but
My parents and sisters are my strength... I will make them proud one day. ❤️

I'm recording my piano playing exam today and it made me so tense and worried for a full month that I wasn't even able to play as well as I always used to.

My hands literally felt rock solid and robotic every time I played and even THOUGHT about it

Even in practice recordings I would get so stressed I could barely press any notes.

So, to get myself to stop worrying I came to this video.

I would really really appreciate if you guys wished me luck or prayed for me, it would rlly help 🙏🙏

God bless ❤❤❤

Let's not allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. Remember "Life is too short to be little".

God bless you, Shadé. Well timed message. I’m blessed. You’re a real blessing.

Tomorrow I have exam and I found out I haven't studied yet .
You are right worrying is pointless

[mariaaviles]

I just heard your video. What you are saying depends on the context of the situation. It is better to be realistic and depending on the situation, not to have too much or too low expectations, just to work honestly to manage the challenge.

[nayan_megatron]

Once I used to be driven by negativity
Now I am focusing on the positive side of life and it feels good. Helpful video👌

[niranjan]

A wise men once told me the same. But some time I started worrying too much, which I will feel it later ' waste of time'...

[spirallion]

Stay positive problems always dissolve

[harnoorsingh]

This is really a unique study regarding human tendencies on worrying.. and very well said that actually these things don't even exist.
And I read somewhere - the Catastrophe that you fear will happen has already happened.
So. Our past experiences and fears make us worry about something that has not even occurred

[farazkhan]
