And because I worry and stew, I'm also not really enjoying the moment and/or being as nice to those around me as I should.

I'd also like to "get out there" a bit more. I have plenty of friends, but my romantic life is nonexistent. I'm finally over my ex BF I'm happy to say, but I haven't quite taken the next step of getting back on the horse. It's not that I think my life is incomplete without a man, but I am lonely. I tend to become complacent about dating (as in, I just don't). I'd like to be more open to the possibility.

Beyond that, I need to spend more time on my house. I'd rather ride any day, but my house is starting to look and feel neglected.
I'm a worrier too. I saw a counsellor about 10 years ago about related stuff and she recommended I write down everything I am worried about. Then I was to set a time every day that I actually sat down and "worried" about the things on the list but not allow myself to think about them the rest of the time. In addition, I had to analyze each item (big or little) and list the things I can control and those that I can't and then work on changing the things I can but letting go of the ones that are beyond my control. All of this stuff did help to some degree. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this very well...
