Give Worry A Bad Time
It is possible to destroy any emotion you have, including worry
and fear by a very simple process. And that is, analyze it to death.
Drag it out on the table and look at it. Weigh it against all of your
past experiences. Make sure this one can stand against all the past
facts you have. You will now start to use worry instead of letting
worry use you. It’s a beginning. Being in control instead of out of
control. You will now let concern and the first signs of worry
prompt you to learn, ask questions, and look at all sides in order to
evaluate true, positive, constructive action.
Now you can say, I will let fear advise me of the facts, but I
won’t let fear tell me these are all the facts. Nor will I let fear
determine my reaction to the facts. I will gladly take up the war of
faith over doubt, reason over fear and positive expectation over
worry.
So, talk to yourself right now into a change of attitude. Be
persuasive, go all out. Show yourself the hell if you don’t and the
good life of answers and progress if you do. Say to yourself, what a
fantastic feeling it must be to stop the panic drain on my mental
energy, emotion, and physical strength. Imagine putting all that
saved energy, and emotion, and strength into my action plans for
the good life.
Hey, accept the challenge, believe your beliefs, doubt your
doubts, and stay on the campaign to give worry a bad time. Like
being your own conscientious judge say, “I’ve had it with the
presentation of a one-sided story. I sustain the objection that worry
has failed to bring out all the facts. I despise these mental
courtroom maneuvers that try to belittle my client – me. I demand
the whole truth. And if worry will not be silent, I may cite him for
contempt of the court of reason.” Call up that scene often, when
worry wants to hassle you with the same old tricks and the same
old results. It will work every time.
