I once heard that if you have one foot in the future and one foot in the past, your pissing on today. We worry about two things; not getting what we want or losing what we have. That takes us out of the present moment. Most things we worry about almost never happen. Worry give us anxiety that, in turn takes away from our peace.
Worry is like fear, it's not real but I think we've all thought about something we fear, played the tape out, and made it become so real that we actually have a physically and emotional reaction as if it's happening. I call that crazy making.
There's a scene in Silver Linings Playbook about a song that reminds the character of catching his wife in the shower with the history teacher and every time the song plays, he is pulled back into that moment of insanity. It's just a song, it's not real. Breathe... It's just a song.
