Nowadays a great number of people are victims of worry. Things are getting worse and harder just because of worry.
What is worry? Reduced to its simplest form, worry is simply an unhealthy and destructive mental habit. We are not born with the worry habit. We acquire it.
A new born is born with two fears; the fear of falling down and the fear of loud noise. This is to mean that all other emotions of fear or worry are habits acquired through life. And because you can change any habit and any acquired attitude, you can also cast worry from your mind. Even though, an aggressive direct action is essential in the elimination process of worry.
Have you ever heard a person say “I am almost sick with worry” and then add with a laugh, “but I guess worry never really makes you ill.” But that is where he is wrong. Worry can make you ill.
Despite all this, you do not have to be discouraged if you worry often, for you can also overcome your worries like others. There is a remedy that will bring you sure relief. It will help you break the worry habit. And the first step in breaking this habit is in believing that you can. Whatever you believe, you can do.
There is just one proper time to begin an effective attack on worry, and that is NOW!
Below is a practical procedure which will help you to eliminate abnormal worry from your experience.
1. Empty your mind on the regular.
During sleep, thoughts tend to sink into the subconscious. Emptying all the negativity from your mind must be done before sleeping to avoid the retention by the consciousness of worries while you sleep.
2. Use the power of imagination.
Hold an image of yourself as delivered from worry. This process will in time eliminate abnormal fear from your thoughts. However, it is not enough to empty the mind, for the mind will not long remain empty because it must be occupied by something –therefore you will have to fill it with thoughts of faith, hope, courage and expectancy.
3. Prepare a method of worry attack and keep it working.
There is an inestimable value in doing something that dramatizes to our own minds that an effective counterattack is in process. By doing so we bring spiritual forces to bear upon the problem we are fighting and solve it as soon as possible.
It is always true that the greatest minds have the best ability to be simple that is to say that; they have the capacity to work out some simple plans for putting profound truths into operation. And this is exactly what you need to do in connection with your worries.
4. Practice positivism.
You became a worrier by practicing worry. You can become free of worry by practicing the opposite and a stronger routine of positive affirmations.
Say loud to yourself
- “Worry is just a very bad mental habit. I am going to change this habit and the universe is supporting me. I believe!”
Instead of saying
- “This is a terrible day.”
Say
- “This is going to be a glorious day.”
Instead of saying
- “I’ll never do that”
Say
- “With the help of the God, I will do that.”

5. Do not participate in a worry conversation.
Shoot an injection of faith into all your conversation. This is because you are a bringer of the light and that a group of people talking pessimistically can infect every person in the group with negativism. Cultivate your friendship with hopeful people and surround yourself with friends who think positively.
To conclude, let me tell you that worry is a destructive process of occupying the mind with thoughts contrary to life, love and care.
Many people fail to overcome such troubles as worry because they allow the problem to seem complicated and do not attack it with simple techniques.
It is surprising how our most difficult personal problems often yield to an uncomplicated methodology. This is due to the fact that it is not enough to know what to do about difficulties. We must also know how to do that which should be done.
