Worry

(for someone who’s struggling)

Trusting God is hard.

Experience teaches us that, no matter what we’re doing, the odds of it working are a lot better if we know what’s going to happen. If we know how it’s going to work.

Then we can plan. We can prepare. We can set ourselves up to succeed. Before we start.

The thing is, we don’t always have the luxury of knowing what’s going to happen, or how it’s going to work. There are a lot of situations in life where it’s just not possible. Where there are so many variables, so many unknowns, that planning can quickly turn into what-iffing.

That powerful, downward spiral of second guessing and worry.

There’s only one thing that’s more powerful that that downward spiral. God.

God isn’t like us. God isn’t limited. There is no situation in life where there are too many variables, too many unknowns for God. There has never been, and never will be, a time when God says, “wow, I didn’t see that one coming!”

God has our best interests at heart. Always.

God loves us. Too much to leave us to helpless.

Because God loves us, He gives us His peace. Through the alternative to that powerful, downward spiral of second guessing and worry.

Trust. Letting go of worry, and trusting God to guide us. Especially when we can’t see what’s coming.

But even though trusting God makes perfect sense, we struggle to let go of worry. I know I do.

There’s a reason for that. Francis Chan put it well, “Worry implies that we don’t quite trust that God is big enough, powerful enough, or loving enough to take care of what’s happening in our lives.”

I’m afraid. In my heart, I struggle to believe that God is who He says He is. So I turn to someone who has failed me time and again. Me.

Before I know it, I’m back to that powerful, downward spiral of second guessing and worry.

The only way out? By God’s grace. A grace that God will give to anyone who asks.

Today, pray for peace.

Not out there, in some troubled place somewhere. Pray for peace in that troubled place in you.

Pray for peace in your heart. Ask God for the grace to trust Him.

Because trusting God is the beginning of peace.

Its kind of wild (though I suppose makes some kind of sense) that a lot of the residual Harry Potter fandom post-JKRgate seems to be made up of people who are militaristic, gleefully violence endorsing, and in denial.

There was a fascinating thread on reddit's r/harrypotter today that really emphasised this.

Somebody had quoted the scene where Harry uses Crucio, the torture curse that causes the victim unbearable pain and can cause brain damage due to the severity... as something not that they thought was morally questionable or a talking point, but as a heroic winning moment that they were upset wasn't adapted into the movies, and they hoped the tv show would include!

Up and down the thread around 2000 people agreed!

Those few people that pointed out that Harry's use of torture being okayed because he believed it was for the good of society retroactively also legitimised its use by any of their enemies who believed the same were pilloried by the group. Ah, you see, but Harry is the hero. Its fine for him to use literal torture as long as its for the greater good. So what if he causes so much pain his victim passes out? It's the greater good, man!

It kind of struck me that by retaining - and encouraging - this side of fandom, its making HP quite a good recruiting ground for general zealotry and extremism. If X is fine when Harry does it for the greater good, then is it also fine when Rowling does it? Or when the political candidate that Rowling endorses does it?

These people are being carefully shielded from the fact that just because a story has a first person perspective and a character is called a hero by others around him, that does not mean that everything they unilaterally do is objectively right. If you fight fire with the fire in the pursuit of your defeat of fire as a concept, haven't you become... exactly what you seek to extinguish?

what's currently helping me with catastrophizing/worrying/analysis paralysis

one of the number one things that i just can't stop doing is worrying and catastrophizing and it's been getting in my way for eons now. it's extremely hard to push through, i end up procrastinating, doing things last minute (which means i can't do them as well as i otherwise would), and of course self-sabotaging.

i used to think that i only catastrophize with "big" decisions, but i noticed that it had crept into small day-to-day decisions as well. just coming up with my daily to-do-list was littered with extremely negative "what ifs" and it was agonizing.

so i tried to force myself to not think negatively, to be mindful and say "c'mon that won't happen..." etc... but it didn't help. my "brain" (or part) would just reject that and do it even worse. i also did the thing i read about where you're supposed to think the negative thought to it's conclusion, which should then help you snap out of it. it did not, in fact my brain is capable of coming up with some pretty gruesome stuff, so that just ended up being an exercise in just how bad things can get.

so then i had this idea: how about adding more options to the outcomes? so now i have a new rule, each time my brain chimes in with a catastrophizing thought, it has to add at least 2 or 3 (or more) good outcomes for the same situation. therefore i'm not left with just one horrible scenario, but two others where everything goes fine or even really good. this has helped me get out of analysis paralysis and tackle the things i need to get done, big and small, while still allowing my brain to "contribute" with warnings. it doesn't get to be the only and the loudest voice anymore, it is obliged to hand out the good scenarios it's been keeping from me as well, to balance things out a little. that way the negative outcome suddenly shrinks to it's appropriate size and it just one among many outcomes.

sure, that doesn't mean negative things won't ever happen, it just means that the idea of them having a chance of happening won't keep me from what i want/have to do. this method has really helped me in the last couple of days, i hope it can help others too.

I think it's crazy that the pro player duos that get the most focus/importance in the story (ego&noa and mick&snuffy) have terrible results for one of the people involved.

#maybe i'll elaborate later who knows #it's just like wow no good examples for the kids huh #& with the barou and isagi are similar to ego and noa & reo and nagi's bids going down parallel to mick & snuffy's downfall is um #you know #worrying #hey also is barou ego & is isagi noa in that comparison. #<-edit: now imo it's the other way around

No amount of regretting can change the past, and no amount of worrying can change the future.
