Worries of a Worrier

Isn’t this great! We have a website about worry! I have to admit this is something I could represent Britain for in the Olympics! Perhaps we could start a lobby/petition to have it included in 2112?
This morning I woke up worrying about my daughter who has just started Secondary School. It was all about ‘what if that girl she keeps talking about – her new friend – turns against her and begins to bully her’.
During breakfast I asked her about Emma and she said again how bright and bubbly she is and such fun……..but I’m not sure. Sue is so quiet and sweet that she could easily get bullied by someone like that and it would affect her work and she would fall behind and she’d never get to college or get a job, which would be such a shame as she is really quite bright.
Here I go again – worrying about things that have not happened but you have to think ahead, don’t you think?

Worrying about nothing. That’s all people do today. Worry about things that may never happen. With all the things that are happening in the world, you would think that would give them enough real things to worry about, but no! people have got to worry about stuff that may never happen. If I were you, I’d turn my energy into celebrating what a great daughter you seem to have and what a brilliant future she has probably got

So now we are not only Credit Crunched but I worry that my little savings are not safe. I know that there is a guarantee for £35,000 which is more than my savings but………………………if these big Bankers got it wrong once, they could get this wrong too! My friends tell me I am such a worrier and that it doesn’t do any good but I feel such a little fish in a huge pond and my life may not be important to these big Bankers but it is everything to me!
This website says Don’t worry….Take Action!
But what action can I take? If I take my savings out of the bank I might start a ‘run’ on the Bank and that would be even worse, so that’s not a good Action.
I’ve looked at the Action points and one thing I have realised is that I have no control over Global Finance, so on a scale of 1 – 10 it is probably 5/6 for me and I probably need to worry more about things that affect my life and I may have some control over.

__As you say Worrier, you are a little fish in a big pond and whatever you do will make no difference whatsoever to the global economy so worrrying about your pension pot in the savings bank won’t change the world. I have heard that shares are pretty cheap at the moment so I’m thinkin of preparig for when things get better by laying the foundations for when things get back to better times. I’m sure that there are many things within your control that you can do to influence your world in your own way._
