Read along with the original article(s) here: https://medium.com/invisible-illness/in-defense-of-the-worry-warts-6cd8e3af3319 Quotes to ponder: "Her worry becomes not about if she can control it, but how." "Wayne Dyer is quoted as saying, 'Recognize the preposterousness of worry. Ask yourself over and over, ‘Is there anything that will ever change as a result of my worrying about it?’'" "There’s nothing wrong with you for worrying. It’s not senseless, it’s circumstantial."
