[QUOTE="witzend, post: 602320, member: 99"] I think that for now, the thing that helps me most is knowing that I have too few days left in my life to waste them worrying about fixing anyone other than myself. And while I am concerned about being right with myself, I do not worry about it. Letting go of the anxiety - the letting one of the juggling balls fall - is [I]really[/I] difficult and takes a concerted effort. But I know that when I obsess about what my kids or siblings or parents or friends/acquaintances are doing or thinking, I'm stealing precious time from myself that could be spent enjoying all of the good things that I have, [I]and[/I] I am not fixing any of those other things because I can't control them. I choose happiness. Life is too short to waste the rest of it worrying about people who don't worry about me. [/QUOTE]
