Don't worry, be happy. Yes, just stop worrying. It doesn’t do you any good. There's worrying and then there's worrying. As you get older it's only natural to become concerned about certain aspects of your health. Your body starts to feel a little creaky and you're not as flexible as you used to be. Not only that, you know so many people who have had heart attacks or strokes or skin cancer and so on.
Your awareness of the possibility of illness and disease has been triggered, be it through first-hand experience or otherwise. But should this be cause for worry as opposed to a "healthy" concern? It is natural as well to worry more, as you get older, about everything, not just your health.
You are only born with two fears, those of loud noises and falling. But these types of fears are not the same as the types of worries which I am talking about. A fear is caused by a perception of imminent threat. The worries I am referring to are those ones which you toss and turn, rip apart and "chew" over; those things which go over and over and over in your mind and you just won't let them go, even though you know logically that you have no real cause to worry. That's what I mean by worrying.
