0:00.0	Someone asked me recently to do an episode on worry, and I think it's a great topic.
0:17.0	So let's begin at the beginning.
0:19.1	What is worry?
0:25.7	Well, obviously we have concerns in our lives about ourselves, loved ones, and even the world at large. And those thoughts of concern cause us to

2:03.5	But caring is not the same thing as worrying.
2:08.0	It's possible to care deeply without getting yourself tied in a knot,
2:14.4	or at least an endless growing knot.
2:20.7	And although it will require some practice to undo those knots that you may have gotten yourself into, you can. And maybe you have some resistance
