As a watched pot never boils...
A micro-managed life never progresses.

Like watching paint dry...
Worrying never did anyone any good.

Sometimes You have to Stop Micro-Managing and Let Life Unfold
As I was playing with 'Night Workers' and discovering the multitude of tiny beings within, I began thinking about the multitude of bacteria working on our behalf in our bodies--and how they were like the multitude of tiny forces in our lives working to make our lives better.
In case you didn't know it--your body contains trillions of microorganisms about equal to the number of human cells you have, and these tiny creatures play a vital role in your health.
How comforting it is to know trillions of tiny beings are working overtime to keep your body working well--and you don't even need to give them a second thought. Even if you wanted to supervise their tireless work you can't. They're too small. They just put their hard-hats on at night and work away helping to refresh and repair your body.
And did you know you have about 100 billion brain cells working on your behalf? And like the tiny microorganisms, your lightening-fast brain cells function best when you don't try to micro-manage them with stress and worry.
Sometimes we spend so much time concentrating on getting an outcome in our body or life we forget to just relax and let our bodies and lives heal and thrive on their own.
Do What Must Be Done, Then Let it Go
Why waste all that time, energy and head space worrying about things you can't do anything about? Figure out what concerns you, take the most important actions to resolve it, and then let it go.
Yes, you have to do your part to set things in motion in a positive direction. But then you need to rest and trust life's tiny forces to do the heavy lifting for you.
While exercise is good for you, rest is equally as good. In fact you grow stronger when your body rests after exercising. If you overuse your muscles and fail to give it enough time to rest between bouts of exercise your muscles will breakdown. It is the same with your brain.

Times of action, concentration and focus must be followed by times of rest, relaxation, and play. Whatever you're obsessing on, put it down. Stop the worry. Let time and tiny life forces work for you while you rest.
