Worry is important because it can help us to identify potential problems and to take steps to avoid them:<ul><li>When we worry about something, we are essentially thinking about the potential consequences of that event.</li><li>Sometimes, worry can motivate us to take action & avoid a potential problem.</li><li>When we worry about something that has already happened, we can learn from our mistakes and avoid making them again in the future. </li></ul>However, worry is not always helpful, and that it can be harmful to our physical and mental health if we allow it to consume us. Navigating our worries is a super-power.

The Good & The Bad about Worrying

"A man is not hurt so much by what happens, as by his opinion of what happens."

"A problem well stated is a problem half solved."

<ul><li>If yon can't sleep, get out of bed and work or read until you do feel sleepy.</li><li>Worrying about insomnia usually causes far more damage than sleeplessness.</li><li>Relax your body.</li><li>Get yourself so physically tired you can't stay awake.</li></ul>

How To Deal With Insomnia

"Acceptance of what has happened is the first step in overcoming the consequences of any misfortune."

<ul><li>Choose thoughts of peace, courage, health, and hope.</li><li>Never try to get even with your enemies. Don't waste a minute thinking about people you don't like.</li><li>Don't worry about ingratitude, expect it. Give only for the joy of giving.</li><li>Count your blessings, not your troubles.</li><li>Do not imitate others. Find your own voice.</li><li>Do the best you can with the resources you have at hand.</li><li>Try to create a little happiness for the others.</li></ul>

Cultivate Peace And Happiness

Try to avoid getting nervous about the future. Just live each day until bedtime.Only think about and focus on the current day. We cannot go back to the past or see the future. The future is today.

Live One Day At A Time

<ol><li>Analyze the situation and figure out what is the worst that could possibly happen as a result of this failure.</li><li>Prepare yourself mentally to accept the worst-if necessary.</li><li>Focus on the present: Don’t dwell on the past or the future. Focus on what you can control</li><li>Try to improve upon the worst scenario you have already mentally agreed to accept.</li></ol>

The Formula For Solving Worry Situations

"Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere."

<ul><li>Keep busy. The worried person must lose himself in action, lest be wither in despair.</li><li>Don't allow yourself to get upset by small things.</li><li>Think about the actual probability of the event you worry about to happen.</li><li>Co-operate with the inevitable. You can either bend with the inevitable storms of life or you can resist them and break.</li><li>Decide just how much anxiety a thing may be worth and refuse to give it any more.</li><li>Let the past bury its dead.</li></ul>
