Worrying is only useful if it makes us aware of something that needs to be remedied, allows us to resolve the situation and move on. It is bad for us when it constantly fills our mind and we take no action or remain preoccupied. It wastes time and energy.

When it comes to Mom, worry is my constant companion, with me like those belt beepers husbands used to wear when the birth was imminent.

PHIL GIANFICARO

"The forecast: Worry, 100 miles away", Burlington County Times, March 16, 2017


Worry is like a stream of fear trickling through man's mind, which if not controlled will flood and drown all other thoughts in the mind and overtakes the mind entirely.

PANO GEORGE KARKANIS

Thoughts for Meaningful Life


Worrying is not looking for a solution, but just reviewing the "problem" over and over.

What worries you masters you.

HADDON W. ROBINSON

attributed, Drawing Closer, Growing Stronger: Making the Most of Your Walk with God


A little worrying, like a little fear, is natural and healthy. It is what keeps us following basic traffic laws, not putting our hand on a hot burner, or playing baseball with a glass jar. But just like being consumed with fear can paralyze you, so can worrying non-stop. The emotions are from different spectrums of the rainbow but they both end up doing the same things -- making you paranoid, tepid, and unable to savor life that is in front of you.

Don't go looking for worry. It finds you on its own.

While many people think they are just worriers, they do not realize that they actually worry for a reason. Their worry is an attempt to protect themselves! If you're wondering how such a nagging, persistent, annoying, and sometimes distressing psychological state can be helpful, you're probably not alone. It turns out that worrying about something puts your mind into a negative state, but this helps, because when something negative does happen, you don't feel that much worse. You've already been feeling bad.

SRINI PILLAY

"Managing worry in generalized anxiety disorder", Harvard Health Publications, February 17, 2016


Worrying is not fun; worrying is very draining. Ever notice how during and after you've worried over something, how very drained you feel both mentally and physically? Worrying is very detrimental to the human body. This is called stress, and stress will either mutate or kill the very cells of your physical body.

Worry is an unproductive, useless form of fear, and that makes it, by definition, unhealthy.

MAXIE MAULTSBY JR.

Ebony, February 1981


How can a person deal with anxiety? You might try what one fellow did. He worried so much that he decided to hire someone to do his worrying for him. He found a man who agreed to be his hired worrier for a salary of $200,000 per year. After the man accepted the job, his first question to his boss was, "Where are you going to get $200,000 per year?" To which the man responded, "That's your worry."

MAX LUCADO

Traveling Light


Worrying is the magical thinking that worrying can prevent disaster. Worrying is anxiety in control. Worrying is belief in anxiety as some kind of god. Worrying is making stress and conflict now for imagined stress and conflict in the future. Worrying mistakes anxiety for action.

KEVIN EVERETT FITZMAURICE

Attitude Is All You Need!


It is just a fact of modern life that worries are becoming about as certain as death and taxes--and a lot of people are worried about them, too. Curiously, though, worry is an unnecessary emotional pain which everyone would be better off without and which is relatively simple to avoid.

CHRIS BENSON

"Dr. Maxie Maultsby Says: Stop Worrying and Get On With Your Life", Ebony, February 1981


One of the worst features about worrying is that it destroys our ability to concentrate. When we worry, our minds jump here and there and everywhere, and we lose all power of decision. However, when we force ourselves to face the worst and accept it mentally, we then eliminate all these vague imaginings and put ourselves in a position in which we are able to concentrate on our problem.

WILLIS H. CARRIER

attributed, How to Stop Worrying and Start Living


Worry is the secret weapon perpetrated upon us by the dark forces of the world that lurk in the shape of fear, uncertainty, confusion, and loss. We, on the other hand, have our own secret weapon against these incorporeal fiends. It is laughter.

VERA NAZARIAN

Even if we can change some aspect of the things we worry about, worrying is not the way to do it.

I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them have never happened.

A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work.
