Worrying...!

Starting today, we will deal with 'Worrying' for the next week.
We will try to understand the reasoning, process and ways to overcome the most fatal psychological disease of the modern living - Worrying, in the following pages...

”Do not anticipate trouble or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.”
Benjamin Franklin

“The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.”
Elbert Hubbard

“If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you didn’t ask me, I’d still have to say it.”
George F. Burns

Worries... They can circle around and around in your head. Becoming louder and louder as they sap your strength and make you feel you weaker. It’s no fun. So what can you do about it? We are about to discover five timeless thoughts to help us overcome or at least lessen the worries in our lives. I hope you find something helpful...

1. 80-90 percent of what you fear will happen never really come into reality.

“When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened.”
Winston Churchill

“If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today.”
E. Joseph Cossman

This is a big one but one that is easy to forget about. Most things you fear will happen never happen. They are just monsters in your own mind. And if they happen then they will most often not be as painful or bad as you expected. Worrying is most often just a waste of time. This is of course easy to say. But if you remind yourself of how little of what you feared throughout your life that has actually happened you can start to release more and more of that worry from your thoughts.

Stay tuned and we will continue learning these wondereful insights...!!
