10 things to take off your "must worry" list
Posted on Mar 14th 2008 4:00PM by Bethany SandersI am a worrier who comes from a long line of worriers, and so therefore worry is a part of my daily life. Because I know that stress can negatively affect my health, I work very hard to keep anxiety in check. I try to balance the amount of risk with the amount that I worry. So, for instance, when I started allergy shots a few months ago, I was very worried I'd have an allergic reaction. But once I talked to my doctor and learned that the risk is real, but small, I tried to reduce the amount of energy I put into worrying about it accordingly.
If you are a worrier, you understand completely. If you aren't, you probably think I'm a little bit nuts.
In any case, worriers everywhere will be relieved to know that Real Simple has taken 10 things off our "must worry about" list. For instance, if you accidentally use your own shampoo on your dog, he'll likely be ok. And you can probably eat that cracked egg in the egg carton, especially if it only became cracked once you brought it home from the store. And really, as long as the items you sneak into a movie aren't bothering anyone, the usher will probably leave you alone.
What? Those aren't the kinds of things you worry about? Yeah, me either.
