How do I learn that life is too short to worry so much

Question

I have been worrying excessively. But whenever I thinking about people saying 'life is too short to worry so much', i feel better. The thing is, I'm a teen and I feel like my life so far has been long and slow....

Answer 1

Only time and experience will teach you how short life is. The older you get the faster time goes for you. I will tell you one thing that worked for me when I worry a lot. Ask yourself two questions 1. What is the absolute worse thing that could happen in this situation and

2. what was I worrying about last year at this time. Nine times out of

10 the worse thing that will happen never does and you will never be able to remember what you were worrying about last year.(unless it

was some major trauma like a death or a tornado or something.

You have to learn to put things into prospective with what is going

on in your life.  

Answer 2

You feel it is long and slow because you have a very long time to go yet.  The older you get, the less time you have and therefore, life becomes short!

Answer 4

the older you get, the faster time moves. So enjoy this time while you have it. I don't know what you are worrying about, but I can guarantee you that worry will not solve one single thing. So, if these issues are things you can fix, then by all means, try to find solutions. If they are things you cannot fix, then you are wasting your time worrying. Have fun, dear!!! Life truly is too short to worry so much and you can always put off worrying until some time in the distant future after you are finished having fun.  

Answer 5

Just picture this. In 150 years, nothing you do or say or worry about is going to matter one little bit to ANYONE - unless of course you get famous and people remember you for something. So, enjoy the time you have, worry about important things, forget worrying about trivia - be good to yourself and others and try to have as much fun as you can while you are here!

Good luck.

Answer 6

Enjoy youth while you can for it will soon be gone. Adulthood is for a much longer period and there is no sense worrying about things over which you have no control. Develop a positive attitude and look for the good in life as well as practicing it. And having a sense of humor helps tremendously in smoothing some of the rough spots. So enjoy your teens and don't wish your life away. It will happen all too soon even at 85.

Answer 7

You repeat to yourself (or out loud ~ if you wish!)

Uooom: Life is too short to worry so much. ~ Uooom: Life is too short to worry so much. Uooom: Life is too short to worry so much. ~ Uooom: Life is too short to worry so much.

It worked for me.
