How do you deal with worry? I can feel myself worrying and it drives me nuts! The more I tell myself to calm down and not worry, the more I do- I mean I have my outlets, but still when worry hits me its like a big rock has been dropped on my stomach and I'm sinking into water 😢 Any good ideas?

Worry is what we do. And it is sooooo difficult to put it in check. Distraction works the best for me. When i'm in those foul moods like that.. i dive into something. Be it a video game to just veg, a book or two, ride my motocycle for hours.. do something you love.. be selfish with it if need to. Get a pedicure.. something that makes you feel good. That's all i can suggest.

Which part? the pedicure or riding a motorcycle?

Ha ha! I will go for the pedicure first and if I survive that I'll see what my options are 🙂

Thanks sb! Don't you wish you could just take the worry chip out? 🙂 I think i just have to keep busy- when I'm super-busy I really don't have time to worry- us gems have to keep going I guess- like energiser bunnies or something like that. I've heard of those clubs....it's good to have a variety of options 🙂

I swear by yoga too--thus, my handle yogagirl...it really calms and centers me and helps me calm down and relax a LOT...I have a lot of STRESS in my job and I worry a lot too--just have to find outlets to blow off that Gem steam!!

My gem guy does worry a lot, so he has Sex....lots of it, keeps his mind off of things...energizer bunny, great image, he just keeps on running and running...LOL, that is so true...his wheels hardly ever stop and he is the most active guy I've ever been with...I thought I was pretty physically active, but he runs circles around me...WOW, you geminis are electric!
