Not Quite Betty Crocker

I’m a worrier.  However, I am also a thinker. (I know: “Hi, I’m Earth.  Have we met?”) As of today, the thinking part of my personality is officially at war with the worrying part.

This week is Worry-Free Week at Not Quite Betty Crocker.

Bright Side Blogging was so successful that I can’t help but try the process again, this time in an attempt to short-circuit the spiral of worry I’m prone to.  Why a week?  Because I love alliteration… and also because this would otherwise be a particularly worrisome week.  I’m on the road, negotiating the terms of a new job, and have a sore sprained ankle.

{Anyone rolling their eyes yet at the consistency of my complaining?  I am!}

{Update: my new-job-negotiation-meeting is today, not tomorrow!  Oh, well.  One less night to fret before it’s over, right?}

Long story short: when I start to worry, I will assess.  If the worry is a valid concern, I will act to mitigate the risk.  If that’s not possible, or if the worrying doesn’t have an average probability of occurrence or is sixteen steps in the future, I’ll stop.

Between this and my decision to choose yes, it’s going to be an interesting (and quite possibly I’m almost just about sure of it, a fantastic one).

Want to join me?  I’ll update this post tonight with a status of the craziness going on in my brain.  I know, I know, you can’t wait.
