            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tonight, While out dinner with my wife and friends, one of my friends looked over at me and somehow we got on the discussion of stress and worrying. The conversation was quite interesting and most people who know me, know that I don’t ever seem stressed.</p><p>No matter how chaotic or hectic life gets, I just try my best to refuse and allow stress control me. You see in my opinion, worrying follows the negative things in our lives and if you are always worried, you may need to rethink some things in your life. For instance, If you always worry about losing your job, maybe you shouldn’t be there in the first place and find another career path.</p><p>Hanging out worrying or with people who complain all the time is not healthy nor productive by any means. Negativity is extremely contagious and can ruin your day extremely fast.</p><p>Think about it, if you watch the news and everything is totally negative on it, you are likely going to walk away and be negative. Maybe you have a friend who is always full of drama, now they come over and bombard you with their drama. Guess what? Now you are likely to be in a negative mindset afterward.</p><p>Now let’s say you just had an amazing evening and you get home from a great night out with friends. Chances are you feel relaxed and renewed and you’re looking forward to the next day. Your happy and it feels awesome!</p><p>Did you know that you can’t worry when you’re happy? It’s true and if you don’t believe me, try it for yourself!</p><p>I always tune out the negative and I sure try my best to not hang out with negative people. Make it your mission to find positive people and surround yourself with them, watch what starts happening when you do this, you might just be amazed.</p><p>BE GRATEFUL every day for what you have, not just one day of the year. Think about the small things, like maybe a toothbrush and be grateful for that, some people in this world would love to have something as simple as a toothbrush.</p><p>The point I am trying to make is that when we are unhappy, our loved ones, our friends, and our acquaintances can catch on to it and feel our emotions, even people you don’t know.</p><p>But when we are positive and compassionate, not only are we making our life better, we are making the lives of those around us better. The world just seems to be a more welcoming place when we are happy, IMAGINE THAT!</p><p><strong>You got this</strong>… Don’t Worry! Be Happy! You Can’t Worry When You’re Happy!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*KnTXVTuZ4aSLrisugNpR5Q.jpeg" /></figure><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=3f6605eb65f6" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
