A nut in a nutshell is better than a naked nut. ;)

Make a "God jar" -- On individual little pieces of paper, give a small description of each item that you're worried about. Keep going, sheet by sheet until everything is out. Then put the lid on your jar, or seal them in a baggie, and tuck it away at the bottom of a drawer for at least a month.

 

Hopefully this will give you an actual feeling of letting go, plus it will have given you the excercise of spelling out each or your worries, and given the opportunity to "Let Go and Let God." I did this years ago through my divorce and found that when I went back (well over a month later since I forgot about it), many of those items had simple solutions - or never came to pass to begin with.

Laurie has excellent advice and keep your great sense of humor Al.

It not only makes you feel better, it actually boosts your immune system and releases natural pain killers.

I find that doing a Scarlet O'Hara is very effective. You know how she'd think of something worrisome and say "I just can't think about that today, I'll think about it tomorrow." I'm a natural born procrastinator, and worry is definitely worth procrastinating.

@Jay - You and Scarlett O'Hara is something I wouldn't have expected in the same sentence. Did she/you do the backwards wrist on the forhead as well?

@Laurie- Yes definitely! That move also comes in handy when I get "the Vapors". lol

"If you cannot change it, control it or cut it, you must learn not to carry it." OR do Laurie's jar thing. or blog about it on VH. Or eat chocolate. I'm a multitasker. I'll do'em all. :c)
