learning not to worry

One of the best things I've read all week...

"...one of the worst features about worrying is that it destroys our ability to concentrate. When we worry, our minds jump here and there and everywhere, and we lose all power of decision. However, when we force ourselves to face the worst and accept it mentally, we then eliminate all these vague imagininings and put ourselves in a position in which we are able to concentrate on our problem."

From How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie

Stress is a cause of disease and illness

We've got a thousand different diagnoses and diseases out there. They're just the weak link. They're all the result of one thing: stress. If you put enough stress on the chain and you put enough stress on the system, then one of the links breaks.
