We can reflect on any sentence.
Peregrine Thorkild Sean thinks:
"I worry too much, and it gets me nowhere." (p. 86)
At work, when change and redundancies were threatened, we received a day of pep talks. A trainer, counsellor or whatever he was claimed that the vast majority of things that we worry about do not happen and the ones that do happen would have happened anyway. That helped.
"What's the use of worrying?
"It never was worthwhile..."
A Larry Niven character in Known Space thinks, "I've got to get over this some time. Why not now?"
Meditation does not prevent worrying but does help.
That is the sum total of my reflection on worrying at present. Almost any sentence can prompt a moment of reflection.

Kaor, Paul!
Analogously, since I have zero control over the weather, I seldom worry about it, just taking it as it comes day by day.
Ad astra! Sean
I do like having weather forecasts that are accurate a few days in advance. If I want to do X sometime in the next few days then I can plan to do X on a day when the weather will be appropriate.
Kaor, Jim!
I've done that myself, even if I don't usually think it out like that so formally.
Ad astra! Sean
