"In Times Of Change, How To Deal With The Daily Wave Of Worry", WBUR, March 28, 2017
Worrying is about living in a "what if" state of mind and visualizing what you DON'T want to experience, instead of what you DO! When your mind gets stuck on a negative thought, it automatically shifts into high gear and tries to fix the situation.

Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
KEITH CASERTA
Soul Searching
Worry is different from fear. If fear is like a raging fever, worry is a low-grade temperature. It nags at us, simmers in our souls, hovers in the back of our minds like a faint memory. We may fear certain realities, like death; we worry about vague possibilities. Worry distracts us more than paralyzes us. It is like a leaky faucet we never get around to fixing.
GERALD LAWSON SITTSER
The Will of God As a Way of Life
If the worry is reasonable, do something about it. If it's irrational or out of your control, recognize that.

What's the use of worrying?
It never was worth while,
So, pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile.
GEORGE ASAF
"Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit-bag"
Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.
ARTHUR SOMERS ROCHE
attributed, Treasury of Spiritual Wisdom
Worry is discounting possible future sorrows so that the individual may have present misery.
WILLIAM GEORGE JORDAN
The Improvement Era, vol. 11, 1908
The Greeks said that worry is two opposing forces that tear a person apart. The Saxons say worry is like a wolf with a stranglehold on a man's throat. Worry chokes our physical strength, our creative powers, our spiritual growth and our joy.

If something worries you, check it out. Do what you can, take care of what you can, and then let it go. At this point, having done all you can, worrying about the issue doesn't do you any good. You could be using that energy in other ways to help you feel better.
