How worry and giving relate

It has been my experience that the more I give the less I worry. I'm not sure I can explain it. I just know that when I give, my faith, joy, thankfulness all seem to increase. At the same time worry decreases. I wonder if that is what God meant when he said:

"Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom..." Luke 6:38

"... remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive." Acts 20:35

I really believe the key to a worry free life is generous giving.
