Even though I often invite others to let go of worries, I’ve been worried since the USA election.
I honestly believe that being worried doesn’t help anything or anybody, but worried seems to be my default state these days.
I am wearied by being worried and I know that I am not alone.
I’m not worried about sharing these images with you.

On World Television Day, I’m worried about the ascendancy of right-wing television stations and how they are influencing elections.
Here’s what I find when I search for “worried” on YouTube.

While that was a very helpful video, I’m still worried.
Thanks to all who are here for this worried post, including YOU.
‘wearied by being worried’ would be a great new song title for you, and a way to help ease your worries.
This got me working on an unfinished song, beth, so thank you!
Apropos of nothing much, except perhaps my inclination to see monsters whenever possible, one of your photos of autumnal marshes with a couple of long, low buildings way off in the distance, also seems to have a T-Rex popping out of a nearby tree. But you made it back alive, so I’m not too worried about you. 🙂
I’m not worried about you either, Barbara.
I worry about becoming apathetic. I worry about not knowing what to do. I think being worried proves I still care but I’m still not letting go of worry.
Well, I spent half the morning after the election being anxious and nauseated. Finally, I realized I needed to get on with my day and decided I could not do what I did during Trump’s last term and that 1) I would concentrate on taking care of myself (health, spiritual life, community), 2) I would take in news judiciously in order to be a good citizen, but avoid constant outrage or the idea that I could, alone affect anything, and that 3) I would make a plan to execute #1 and monitor #2. I too am wearied by being worried.
Thanks so much for sharing this very helpful comment, Lisa.
