, about a third of people report that stress feels overwhelming most days. Some of these concerns are incredibly valid. Cost of living is absurdly high, health problems can spark intense anxiety, and conflict can be extremely painful.However, there are plenty of other scenarios we often ruminate over that aren’t worth it. As the old adage goes, “most of the things we worry about don’t happen.”
When asked what he thinks young people should worry about less, Kenny Vance, an 80-year-old musician who splits his time between New York City and Florida, told HuffPost that the outcome of some situations should be less of a concern. “I guarantee you that if you do show up, something will happen that you never expected. It’s never what you expect,” he said. “‘Don’t expect what you expect’ I think is a good aphorism.”Ruth Snyderman-Works, 87, said she worried a lot about all of the free time she’d have once she retired. Snyderman-Works co-owned an art gallery in Philadelphia with her husband, Rick Snyderman, for more than 50 years.
“There are so many ways you can talk to people that you find places where you can have some kind of commonality,” Snyderman told HuffPost. “And if you only talk about the ones where you have differences, it’s a pretty sad and empty life, and we’ve never lived that kind of a life.”“I worried a lot about appearances that I stopped worrying about in my 40s and 50s,” Naomi Goldrich, a 91-year-old who lives in California, told HuffPost.
