Mindfulness and Worry are two very different sides of the same line.
One side equips, the other inhibits.
One side is fact, the other is fiction.
One side is open, the other is closed.
Mindfulness catalyzes the projection of possible future situations and what the necessary responses and resources may be.
Worry is the fear of fear...an assumption of what will happen and a paralysis of how it will (or often will not) be handled.
Mindfulness is a skill to be honed.
Worry is a handicap to be corrected.
The challenge is that mindfulness and worry often live so close to one another it is difficult to decipher which is which. The awareness of both, and their proximity to each other, is one of the initial keys to discerning one from the other.
