- Go to too early in the morning
yeah I woke up worrying about whether an African immigrant worker, who's working his arse off to raise money to bring his family to Australia, is going to be given enough work shifts next week (next morning I looked and they had is name down on the allocations board for work)

True babe_rocks, it is a habit and I try and break the pattern before it becomes full fused into my neurological processes.. requires a certain gentle vigilance

Rob, you may be menopausing... it's natural when you hit 40 -
I was sitting in bed at 2:30 a.m. going over the $2 million contract I had drafted the day before, feeling insecure with thoughts of errors and omissions while I'm sure my boss, the attorney, was fast asleep enjoying his beauty rest. What's wrong with this picture? Nevermind about the pausing, I may be projecting.
Dance, Rob, dance !!!! Melody

Easy, Rob. Just take some slow, deep, even breaths and close your eyes. Think of your mum, but only the good parts of her...Not the fact that she worried so.
You'll be in America soon. Concentrate on that and ease your mind. Sleep well and stay well. Worrying will bring you to no good and may even make you ill.
Keep up the mediation...It does help.
Know that my thoughts are with you. Be at peace.

I hate when that happens...
tired, sleepy but your eyes won't close. You begin to see the stirring of sub-atomic particles in the ceiling and remember that nothing is really solid, everything is a mass of electrons slamming into one another, and the ceiling really is a roiling mass of atoms, as is the structure of the rest of the house, and if the universe blinks it could all come tumbling down about your ears, which would by then be somewhere else and you couldn't hear yourself screaming. Maybe meditation isn't the answer. Soothing guitar solos on the CD player, reading a good book -- that will relax you.:)

Worry is a habit. It used to be that if I didn't have something to worry about, I would think up something because I felt guilty experiencing peace of mind.e
