Default Focus and awareness

Umm, my two cents (and my first post):

I'm a worrier too. I'm hypersensitive to people's responses; I'm constantly reenacting past situations in my mind, or calculating the future. Repeating what Vee said earlier, I've found focusing on being here-now helpful.

Seeking higher awareness instead of better solutions is quite useful. I either realize there was no problem in the first place, or I come up with a novel solution resulting from understanding the problem better through a sort of detached perspective.

Meditation (the focus-on-breath one) helps me get to the tranquil state where I'm here-now and far more aware.
