Worry is the Enemy

Worry is your enemy.  I have had a big blow this fall with learning I am diabetic and have kidney problems.  It took several weeks for me to even begin to feel much better and will take years to recover and build myself back up.

The latest problem is pain in my legs...over a week ago it started. Doctor told me he thought it was from my lower back which also hurts...I fell 3 times in my life on my tailbone and the last time I know it was broken.  But I am convinced it is from the diabetes even though my sugar levels are good.

I have not been sleeping so that makes life very difficult.  Just woke from sleeping all morning.  I did not mean to complain on my blog like a little old lady talking over the back fence to her neighbor but here is my point...I find myself worrying. What does worry do?  Why on earth worry? Worry brings us anxiety and procrastination.  We mostly do it because of fear about something we do not want to face.  It is funny I generally do not worry, after all I am Ms. Messages of Hope, but we all have our Achilles Heel...mine is my health (and my son.) 

So the Universe has given this challenge with my health.   Ok so why do we worry...why am I worrying about my health? HM?  Because for the first time in my life I feel out of control...my body is doing things I do not understand.  I went totally alternative for years...that did not work...see where I am today.  But I still trust myself and those alternative method once I know what is wrong more than the medical profession.

So worry  stops us from living a happy and normal life.  It makes us hold back and pulls us down.  I say who cares what is going to happen, right? We need to shake ourselves out of it and stand up in hope that all is ok...at least knowing that NO MATTER what, things work out.  What can my outcome be...pain from the diabetes and then more medicine...pain from my back ...it does not matter the biggest part is how I deal with it.  ACTION not worry.  Worry out the window and make things happen to feel better not sit in it and wallow.  So I am off to my acupuncturist, a grand fellow, and then a call to the doctor again to make him take a look at me.  We all have these moments of worry and stalemates but let them be moments.

Live in hope for ourselves and take action.  Worry is the enemy!
