Worry

Life is fraught with adventures and trials. Damsels we have to rescue. Dragons we have to battle.

One of the most powerful beasts we face is Worry.

Worry keeps us up at night, wondering how we're going to pay the rent, how we're going to make it up to him, to her. Wondering how we're going to get through the coming day, week, month. Year. Simply asking that one-syllable question: "Why?"

Worry is a tricky creature. It doesn't charge headfirst, claws flashing and flames blazing. Worry is one of the tiniest dragons out there. She creeps in and you don't even notice she's there until she sinks her razor-sharp teeth into your mind. That's where her cleverness comes from. Worry lets you destroy yourself and relishes your pain. Once she's in your head, Worry is very hard to dispense with. No sword in all the world can cut this one out.

How do we fight back? What can we do to get rid of this nagging, aching beast? How can you eliminate a monster that makes such a valid argument?

How do you destroy a self-made demon?
