of the biggest problems facing humanity today is excessive worry.
One may argue that we have plenty to worry about. But, do you know
that of the things you worry about 40% never happen, 30% has already
happened, 12% are needless, and 10% are
petty or small. Only 8%
of what you worry about are real and divided into those you can solve and
those you cannot. If you
cannot solve it, why spend valuable time worrying about it? Worry robs us of peace, joy, and
keeps us living limited lives. In
excess it can even jeopardize our health.
So how do we break the worry habit? 1.
Ask
yourself this question.
What are the chances that
what I am
worrying
about will ever happen? 2.
Don’t
Sweat the Small Stuff. Don’t
spend valuable time on inconsequential
things. Don’t make it bigger than it is. 3.
Accept
the things we cannot change, change
the things we can and the wisdom to know the difference (The Serenity
Prayer) 4.
Focus on Solutions not Problems.
Most people
spend 90 %of their time on the
problem and 10% on the solution. It
should be the other way—90% on the solution and 10% on the problem. 5.
Live In the Present. Don’t
try to predict what CAN happen in the future.
Concentrate on what you want to happen NOW.
Learn from the past, plan for the future, but live in the present. 6.
Solve Problems as They Arise.
Problems
don’t go away or get better because you ignore them.
Look for the best possible solution and then take positive action. 7.
Keep
busy – Stay focused
on the many positive possibilities that lie ahead for you.
Engage in activities that inspire and motivate you.
Don’t live your lives based on What if?
You could spend your entire existence worrying about NOTHING. [Positive Talk]
