If you’re anything like me, you worry or angst occasionally (or often!)
Knowing why we do or think anything is useful.
If we are practicing the art of worrying, it must be because we hold some principles to be true and valid. What are these presuppositions that ground our habit? If I am worrying, then it must because I believe that:
- I control my life (or in ‘Christianspeak’ – I am lord of my life.)
- I know what is best for me and for others.
- I need circumstances to be a certain way for me to feel okay, content or at peace.
- I have the skill, knowledge and resources at hand to meet my needs.
- Worry is effective at changing people and circumstances.
Why do you get anxious?
