I couldn't stop worrying today. No matter what I told myself.
I am in charge of a project and I was in charge of the printed materials.
I made a change in one aspect of the printed materials and then sent it round for approval, but I didn't specifically call people's attention to the change.
Four people looked at the materials and approved them. Two of the people even went to the printer and approved the materials.
I could have pointed out the change I made at any time. But I didn't. They approved the materials and approved going ahead with the printing.
So why am I raking myself over the coals today, feeling sick to my stomach - I can't ask them now, because one of the materials has already been printed and the people who approved the materials are out of town.
Why do I do this ONLY when I can not do anything about the situation. I KNOW they approved the materials. I know they approved the materials. I don't know why I'm worried that they didn't read what I gave them (even though they had three opportunities), and I don't know why I didn't just point it out when I had the opportunity to do so when it wouldn't have been a problem.
Do any of you have any advice how to turn off the worrying? I know I have to fix my behavior but that isn't helping me at the moment stop worrying. I *could* go down to the print shop and change it back the way it was, but then it wouldn't be the way they approved it.
If anybody's online, I'd like to chat.
