I use worry to procrastinate. If I’m busy worrying then I’m not doing but I’m not just staring at the sky, because I’m often planning and replanning to avoid the outcomes my worry produces.

“There are a lot of things in life that cause anxiety, most of which are unlikely to occur, unlikely to last, or nowhere near as bad as we make them out to be. We worry about what may or may not happen and whether our lives will work out the way we want them to. Clearly, this isn’t healthy and it’s another thing we need to consider. We need to get over the fact that life is uncertain and that things change. Nothing is forever. We grow up and we move on. All we can do is plan wherever possible and then hope for the best because the rest is out of our hands.”

Thanks Peter for listing the sources.

Thanks for your comments. In regards to the statistics:

I looked far and wide for exact sources. I probably came across 50 to 100 references of the above statistics – unfortunately I didn’t keep track of them all.

When doing research I tend to lean on books or trusted sites. I know that I have seen and heard those statistics in various places over the years. I was unable to pinpoint it to a specific research ….

In looking at what I have worried about myself – and what worries my clients have had over the years, I believe the statistics are fairly accurate.

If anyone knows of specific sources, I’d love to know about them – even if mine happen to be incorrect.

Thanks!
