What is Worth While?
Worrying is holding on to problems without seeking help.
MELVIN R. HALL
The Sky's the Limit: Go for the Gold!
Worrisome thoughts reproduce faster than rabbits, so one of the most powerful ways to stop the spiral of worry is simply to disclose my worry to a friend.... The simple act of reassurance from another human being [becomes] a tool of the Spirit to cast out fear.
JOHN ORTBERG, JR.
The Me I Want to Be
Worrying is about living in a "what if" state of mind and visualizing what you DON'T want to experience, instead of what you DO! When your mind gets stuck on a negative thought, it automatically shifts into high gear and tries to fix the situation.
JAFREE OZWALD
The Manifesting Manual
Worry is different from fear. If fear is like a raging fever, worry is a low-grade temperature. It nags at us, simmers in our souls, hovers in the back of our minds like a faint memory. We may fear certain realities, like death; we worry about vague possibilities. Worry distracts us more than paralyzes us. It is like a leaky faucet we never get around to fixing.

Put your energy into today and stop worrying about the past.

Action is worry's worst enemy.
AMERICAN PROVERB
Worrying is a sort of security blanket for us. It keeps us moving and is a constant part of our conscious. This is also one of the biggest struggles of overthinking everything. We worry about problems that aren't relevant and that may or may not emerge in the future.

It helps to know what the things are that tend to trigger your worries and write that down. But actually writing out your worries or talking out your worries is pretty much the same as worrying.

What's the use of worrying?
It never was worth while,
So, pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile.
