Do, Not Try

I'm consistently filled with worries that play on a loop going around in circles in my mind. Sometimes I get stuck on one, and it repeats over and over, becoming larger and larger, until I have blown it way out of proportion. I found out yesterday at work that I have to take a pre-assessment test over all of the topics we have covered this year in our classes. I'm not good at tests, and we have covered a lot of information this year. It does me no good to worry, and yet I do. Last night I did some of the visualizations that I learned in therapy, and I actually fell asleep while doing it. I was proud of myself for applying what I had learned. It helps if I can slow my thoughts down,but of course the worry is back today. I will study, and do the best that I can with the test. That is all that I can do. There...feeling better all ready. I have to remember that I have control over all of the thoughts, good and bad. I can choose a more positive path. Here are some good thoughts for today~ The sun is shining. I'm spending the day with my husband. I'm going to my first hockey game. Everyone in my family is healthy. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't laugh with my children. I have unlimited support and love surrounding me. Now, if I can hold on to these thoughts throughout my day, I will consider myself successful. Do, not try, is my motto for the day.
