FMOOD 0151: The Worry Bully
What is the Worry Bully? I didn't personally make this up, but I overheard it in a conversation. You have to use your imagination, but picture this: a Worry Bully is inside of your mind and keeps you in a constant state of worry. Regardless of the reason, the Worry Bully keeps you worried and raises your level of anxiety. This leads to stress. Stress leads to more worry, and the cycle goes on and on. The Worry Bully takes what is bothering you and increases it tenfold. Along with that, it prevents you from taking action. The Worry Bully keeps you in a constant state of worry without action, and this will prevent you from accomplishing any of your goals. The best way to deal with and rid yourself of the Worry Bully once and for all is to take action on your own. Worried about losing your job? In reality, you're actually worried about a loss of income. The way to counter this is to either search for another job that pays more than the one you currently have, start a business of your own to supplement your income, or take on a part-time job to accelerate your debt payoff so that you aren't as threatened by a sudden loss of income. Any of these actions will lessen the worry that goes along with the threat of a sudden loss of income. Worried about whether or not you'll have enough money to get by before you come to the end of the month? This is an opportunity to take action and allow your budget to keep you in control of your finances (and not the other way around). Figure out a way to make this work and make some changes to make it happen. The point here is to eliminate the worry in your life by doing something about it. Regardless of what the problem is, by taking action, you take the power away from the Worry Bully. You'll be back in charge, and that's exactly where you want to be. You will finally defeat the Worry Bully once and for all. Has this show been a big help to you so far? Would you like to return the favor and help me to help others? It's easy to do.
