Just chill. It's all good. I think you worry a bit too much sometimes.
Ya think? Yeah, I do. But I am getting more mindful of it so less inclined to worry than I used to be... it's what in Buddhism I'd call 'second arrow' thinking... and to be avoided. The first arrow is physical pain etc... a direct sensation... but the second arrow is any pain you create mentally on top of that... worry, exaggeration, anger etc... things that make the pain worse but can be avoided with mindfulness. So I don't worry as much any more as I used to, but what can I say, I guess I've relapsed here Thanks for reminder though... hopefully it will snap me out of it
