Don't worry Be happy

There is a line in the popular Bobby McFerrin's song "Don't worry, be happy" which says 'In every life we have some trouble, but when you worry you make it double'.

Worry bothers almost everyone periodically. An emotional, mental, and physiological response to a situation, worry has negative and postive aspects to it. It could motivate us to action in a particular area, for example worrying about the future could propel us to make better plans to ensure our livelihood. On the other side of the same coin, prolonged worry about the same situation can cause anxiety, depression and inaction.

Worry is to be managed. It should not become a constant companion to us and affect our daily life.

The following principles from Dale Carnegies' How to stop worrying and start living" provide a useful guide.

Overcoming Worry

Live in "day-tight compartments."
How to face trouble:

Ask yourself, "what is the worst that can possible happen"?
Prepare to accept the worst
Try to improve on the worst

3. Remind yourself of the exhorbitant price you can pay for worry in terms of your health

Analyzing Worry

Get all the facts.
Weigh all the facts - then come to a decision.
Once a decision is reached, act!
Write out and answer the following questions.

What is the problem?
What are the causes of the problem?
What are the possible solutions?
What is the best possble solutions?

Break the Worry Habit

Keep busy.
Dont fuss about trifles.
Use the law of averages to outlaw your worries.
Cooperate with the inevitable.
Decide just how much anxiety a thing may be worth and refuse to give it more.
Don't worry about the past.
