Worry Free

For some reason I was totally taken by surprise when the voice coming from the meditation app suggested that I select an intention for the day... what? something to do? no... I had to look it up. Fascinating... I love words. 
INTENTION
noun
1. an act or instance of determining mentally upon some action or result.
2. the end or object intended; purpose.
3. intentions.

1. purpose or attitude toward the effect of one's actions or conduct
2. purpose or attitude with respect to marriage

4. the act or fact of intending. (I like this one... which leads to the next definition)
5. Logic.

1. Also called first intention, primary intention. reference by signs, concepts, etc., to concrete things, their properties, classes, or the relationships among them.
2. Also called second intention, secondary intention. reference to properties, classes, or the relationships among first intentions.

6. Surgery, Medicine/Medical. a manner or process of healing, as in the healing of a lesion or fracture without granulation (healing by first intention) or the healing of a wound by granulation after suppuration (healing by second intention)
7. meaning or significance: The intention of his words was clear.
8. the person or thing meant to benefit from a prayer or religious offering.

INTEND
verb (used with object)
1. to have in mind as something to be done or brought about; plan
2. to design or mean for a particular purpose, use, recipient, etc.
3. to design to express or indicate, as by one's words; refer to.
4. (of words, terms, statements, etc.) to mean or signify.
5. Archaic. to direct (the eyes, mind, etc.).

This leads me to wonder about the definition of "Create"... and low the last bullet presents the circle... to intend is to create.
Create...
verb (used with object), created, creating.
1. to cause to come into being, as something unique that would not naturally evolve or that is not made by ordinary processes.
2. to evolve from one's own thought or imagination, as a work of art or an invention.
3. Theater. to perform (a role) for the first time or in the first production of a play.
4. to make by investing with new rank or by designating; constitute; appoint
5. to be the cause or occasion of; give rise to
6. to cause to happen; bring about; arrange, as by intention or design

So... long intro... what I intend to create today is freedom. Today the flavor of freedom on the docket is freedom from:
WORRY
verb (used without object), worried, worrying.
1. to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; fret.
2. to move with effort: an old car worrying uphill.
verb (used with object), worried, worrying.
3. to torment with cares, anxieties, etc.; trouble; plague.
4. to seize, especially by the throat, with the teeth and shake or mangle, as one animal does another.
5. to harass by repeated biting, snapping, etc.

Antonyms for worry

• calmness      certainty               cheer          comfort          confidence
• happiness       joy       pleasure   sureness   trust            unconcern
• advantage       calm       contentment          peace

(Like worrying that this post is too long... that I'll miss my meeting... do I want to go to the meeting? what if I don't... YADDA YADDA!! Fucking Yikes people in my head!)

So I know that intending something in the positive is more powerful... but contentment and peace seem vague as does joy and happiness. Cheer is nice... but still I'm choosing to intend No Worries... Don't worry... be happy. Every time I consider waste or not waste, efficient or not... every time I feel my soul resist or tug or stress or fret... breathe and SING!

Don't Worry Be Happy...Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now
don't worry
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) be happy
(Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh) don't worry, be happy

Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The landlord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
Oh, ooh ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh don't worry, be happy
Here I give you my phone number, when you worry, call me, I make you happy, don't worry, be happy)
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
Don't worry, be happy
'Cause when you worry your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now

​The Indian mystic and sage Meher Baba (1894–1969) often used the expression "Don't worry, be happy" when cabling his followers in the West.[5]
In the 1960s, the expression was printed up on inspirational cards and posters of the era. In 1988, McFerrin noticed a similar poster in the apartment of the jazz duo Tuck & Patti in San Francisco.[citation needed] Inspired by the expression's charm and simplicity, McFerrin wrote the now famous song, which was included in the soundtrack of the movie Cocktail, and became a hit single the next year. In an interview by Bruce Fessier for USA Weekend magazine in 1988 McFerrin said, "Whenever you see a poster of Meher Baba, it usually says 'Don't worry, be happy,' which is a pretty neat philosophy in four words, I think."[6]
Linda Goldstein, the song's producer, said the song gave McFerrin "the freedom to explore," adding, "He is a man of infinite, unfathomable, boundless voices and everything he has ever heard has gone into his brain, from the Mickey Mouse Club theme to the Metropolitan Opera."[
