| Prompt: "Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles. It takes away today's peace." Randy Armstrong Write about this quote in your Blog entry today. ----------- This prompt hit the nail on the head. One of my friends worries so much that she has become incompetent in most things she used to be good at. Of course, today's from-day-to-day changes in technology don't help her and they don't help me, either. Case in point, last night neither of my two Amazon pads worked. My cell, however, was working. Then, I received a notice that Amazon was going through some change or fix or something. This morning, both pads are working. Then, when I tried to turn on the computer, it wouldn't accept my password. It said something like a "challenge phrase," which I had never heard of. Now, I have Norton on everything and our connection has extra security. What was happening? I started to worry. My worry was mostly about not getting into WdC. Lol! Luckily for me, my older son from New York is visiting at this time, and he fixed the whole thing in a jiffy. If it weren't for him, putting together last night's events with the Amazon tablets and my HP laptop's antics together, I would have worried myself sick. I guess an occasional worry is a part of life but excessive worry can have serious negative effects on mental and physical health. If only the companies and their techies could consider that! It is said that excessive worry can lead to anxiety disorders and even depression. It may start with restlessness, irritability, and difficulty making decisions. God knows what it will do over time. As to its physical health consequences, it weakens the immune system, causes digestive issues, and heart problems. Heck, I already have heart problems, thanks to family genes. Then, when a person is constantly worried it can affect their relationships with others due to their irritability. Not to mention that it minimizes their productibility and decision making. In short, too much worrying does a person in, with almost every aspect of life. Surely, when worry becomes a long-term problem, we must take measures against it, such as regular exercise and journaling. In extreme cases, professional help may be needed. So, it's good that I recognized from where my worries originate and heap up: Technology! Now, I think I want to go back to the living in caves with me chiseling on the cave wall with sharpened rocks. Just Kidding! In fact, I love technological advances. Except, most of the time, adapting to them does me in. |
