The Big Difference Between a Worry and a Concern

“There is a great difference between worry and concern. A

worried person sees a problem and a concerned person

solves the problem.”

As I see it . . . . . . .

The big difference between a worry and a concern

Worry is focused on the problem . . . . and the past.

Your thinking is stuck in the past worrying about something that has taken place. Worrying creates a negative mindset and focuses you energy and thinking on the problem.

The key is there is no amount of worrying that you can do that will cure the problem.

A concern is in the here and now . . . . and focusing your energy and efforts on finding a solution to the concern. When you are focused on the solution you are focusing your thinking forward to remove the concern.

The big difference between a worry and a concern . . . .worrying keeps you locked into the past. Worrying will also create a great deal of stress in your life without finding the resolution to the problem.

Your concern becomes an actionable and manageable condition that with forethought and effort can be successfully be put to rest.

The big difference between a worry and a concern . . . . is in how you look at it . . . . and what you do about it.
