My favorite new saying is something I picked up in Australia. Often if someone apologies or something doesn't come out right, the reply will be "No worries mate." This indicates that there isn't a problem. I like it because it sounds like an affirmation and each time I hear it I would say to myself, "Yes that is right. There are no worries, only the ones I make up."

Coaching

I often ask myself "Why worry?" Although I haven't completely broken the habit, I find worrying does little to help any situation and at times makes it worse. If we can remind ourselves that there are no worries, only ones we create, we can focus on figuring out how to manage the situation. There may be no cure for what is happening, but there certainly is something that will make it worse and that is worry.

What are you worried about? Is it helping?
