Who wouldn't have a little worry? Worry can be defined as "a state of cognitive distress or worry because of concern over an impending or expected occurrence, risk, or threat." (1) to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; fret. to move with effort: to torment with cares, anxieties, etc.; trouble; plague. a worried condition or feeling; uneasiness or anxiety. a cause of uneasiness or anxiety; trouble. (2) Worry is a marker or signal that something is wrong. We can leverage our worry by identifying it containing it within healthy concern and allow or concern to inform our planning. This reminds me of an expression I heard a lot in the Air Force, "expect the best, plan for the worst." My personal belief regarding emotions is that we were created with all of them and should embrace each emotion openly, honestly, and appropriately. What is the worst-case scenario, what is the best-case scenario, what is the most likely scenario? Now, there are more steps: learning how to prepare. What would coping look like if the worst-case happened? Weighing the cost versus benefit of worry. (Side note: excessive worry really is a learned thought pattern, right the movement from healthy concern to obsessive worry that's learned.) and lastly giving permission to not worry. This is CBT which research shows to be 70-80% effective in reducing anxiety symptoms. (4) There are questions that we need to continually ask in order to overcome a lot of our worries.
