Worry is the vampire that
drains life of its force. Worry
stagnates the mind, creates an imbalance
in the immune system; weakens the
throat, your power and authority center;
impairs the ability to see beyond the
thing being worried about. We
worry about things we cannot control.
We worry about the past and the future.
We worry about those things we cannot do
or have not done and how they will
affect what we are doing right now.
We worry about what we do not have,
cannot get and things we have lost.
Worry creates confusion, disorder and
helplessness. Then we worry
because we cannot figure things out.
We must eliminate the tendency to worry
without worrying if it will work out.
Take the situation creating the worry,
briefly and concisely write it down.
Place the paper on which you have
written in a window, facing the sun.
Make a commitment to yourself to let it
go and move on. Everyone knows
that when sunlight hits a vampire, it
first shrivels up and then it is gone.
