According to the Chinese Medicine, worry is an emotion associated with the spleen, and considering the relationship between this organ and the stomach, the act of worrying or over-thinking of something inevitably affects your digestive process, and you know how crucial is digestion - together with metabolism - to ensure a healthy functioning of your body.
Well, an antidote to worry is a good laughter. Yes, rather than worrying about what you found yourself going through, why don't you try to laugh at it? I understand that laughing might come easier to you when you're feeling happy, rather than when you're feeling bad, nevertheless laughing is a real therapy which works great about making you feel good.
Being able to laugh at yourself and at what you get to meet along your path means being able to look at things from a different perspective. Regardless of what you have to deal with, nothing can turn your life into a drama, unless you allow that to happen. You know, life is unpredictable, in other words there's no straight way to reach your goals, and what you can do when you see that life is taking you on an unexpected turn but laughing? It doesn't matter where you want to go or when you want to be there, but what you're going to be once you will be there.
So, does it make any sense worrying about this or that? Furthermore, the very act of worrying, or thinking of the future, weakens your immune system, because your body is designed to be in the now. It is in the now, in fact, that you have the power to empower your own survival, by doing the right thing at the right time. You might not know how to solve a certain issue, such as paying a bill or escaping from a prison, but whatever you need, in terms of a solution, an answer or an external resource, will come to you at the right time. What you can do, on this regard, is to take care of yourself, because this is the key to keep your body healthy and to keep yourself alive in this world, and here is where your own relationship with the Spleen comes into play.
The Spleen, as one of the nine centers in the bodygraph, can be seen as a checkpoint, a kind of police station where people and things are checked out to verify whether it's healthy or safe for you taking them in or not. Either you feel good or you feel bad, there is no room for gray areas here. Whatever you take in, by experiencing the outer world, is the external representation of your inner world. In other words, what you get to attract into your trajectory is a reflection of who you are deep inside of yourself, regardless of whether you're aware of that or not. This is why what makes possible a real change in what you get to experience in your outer world is your own inner transformation.
Considering then that between these two dimensions, the inner and the outer, there is a flow, what the Spleen checks out is whether there is harmony between them or not. As an example, you might do whatever you can to take care of yourself and, at the same time, you might live in an environment which is unhealthy for you. On the opposite, the place where you live is highly supportive to your wellbeing, but you might have some issues with that. The worst scenario is about you ignoring your body's needs and living in the wrong place.
As someone with an undefined Spleen, I still have a lot to learn about that, even when it comes to recognize the way my body "talks" to me to inform me whenever a balance has to be found within myself, through adaptation or regulation, so that I can keep it healthy moment by moment. You know, the moment before you feel good, everything is ok, and the moment after perhaps something occurs and you don't feel good anymore. Conversely, the moment before you feel really bad and the moment after something mutates into your body to the extent that you happen to feel better.
Well, I'm really doing my best in that sense to keep myself alert to any physical sensation informing me of what is going on inside of me in response to my own experiences and relationships in the outer world. And with regard to laughing, yes, I learned to laugh whenever I'm not good at doing something or I make a mistake or when other people find themselves in that kind of situations, despite of what anyone can think of that, because laughing makes life much more enjoyable, doesn't it?
