A lot of people were much more articulate than I was in my response, lol! I think there's great advice in this thread. There are things we can control, and things we can't. It's imporant to make that distinction, and act accordingly. Always a good dea to be aware of how to protect yourself. but when it comes to fears, anxiety, and things "coloring your world.", acceptance is important in letting it go.
I don't think avoidance is a good thing either (as KT said) because it's good to keep informed. Personally when it came to my own fears, I had to learn to accept it and let it go. It was either that, obsess over it, or constantly try to "avoid" the negative, which just snowballs into more anxiety.
