Even beyond facing it though, is to realize that it really doesn't serve any purpose. Facing the cause of the worry, taking action, and then allowing things to work themselves out seems to work good for me. Hi Tynga,
Worry really does cause so many problems. Even beyond facing it though, is to realize that it really doesn’t serve any purpose. Facing the cause of the worry, taking action, and then allowing things to work themselves out seems to work good for me.

It was hell. I couldn't do anything effectively as I was too busy worrying and too tired from all those sleepless nights worrying. The worry caused stress and more worry and the cycle got worse and worse. Thank heavens I'm over it now and have a fairly laid back attitude to life. I agree that it's easy to worry about our kids - we can control our own destiny but have less control over theirs. I'm always fretting that they'll get bullied at school. You hear such terrible stories about that these days. After I had kids I started to worry all the time about everything. It was hell.

When asked a question like this, I like to get a good grasp of the definition of the words in question. So, I headed over to Dictionary.com and found that "concern" implies an anxious sense of interest, while "worry" is an active state of agitated uneasiness and restless apprehension. While the terms are listed as synonyms, I see worry as more of an active state, being more disruptive to daily life. With concern then being more passive, maintaining interest, but not disruptive.
