"Is it worth the worry?", The Australian, March 4, 2017
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.

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.

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.
