Worrying, anxiety and all that jazz!

I have hesitated to post about my feelings lately but I think if you've read any of my previous posts you will have been able to pick up on my mood lately.

I have always been a worrier...I am sure I've posted about this before...but my worrying reached a whole new level when I became a mom. Am I feeding him enough? Why is he crying? Why won't she sleep? Am I doing this right? What if I'm screwing up my children? I look at friends who are more laid back and wish I could be like that. I tell myself I need to be relaxed and focus on the present but that lasts for awhile and then the worry and anxiety comes right back.

Lately, I have been a bundle of nerves. I don't know if it is the puppy, my job or just general day to day issues but I am starting every day with my heart feeling like it is jumping out of my chest and my stomach in knots. I feel just like I felt when I became a new mom. The feelings of insecurity are ridiculous! It's my summer vacation and I'm not enjoying it...instead I'm worrying about when the puppy is going to poop or whether my children are having a fun summer or whether I need to entertain them so they aren't "bored". In short...I am driving myself nuts!

My mom got really mad at me the other day...there are so many bigger issues in the world and here I sit worrying about minor things. I know I need to snap out of it but I'm not entirely sure how. I am trying to get back to positive thinking and focusing on all that I have to be thankful for. I want to enjoy every day and stop projecting about what is going to happen when school starts back up. Today is here right now and I need to enjoy it. I feel like before I know it I am going to blink and wonder where my life went.

Any suggestions on how to get through this?
