“Seventy per cent of all patients who come to physicians could cure themselves if they got rid of their fears and worries.” ~ Dale Carnegie from How to Stop Worrying and Start Living
Why should you care about Stopping your worry habit? Well, in addition to the fact that being a worrier makes you a bummer to be around (sorry to break it to you :), you’re destroying your health--reducing your energy today and trimming years (decades?) off your life.
Carnegie quotes a Dr. Montague: “You do not not get stomach ulcers from what you eat. You get ulcers from what is eating you.”
And a Dr. Alexis Carrel: “Those who do not know how to fight worry die young.”
And some philosopher guy named Plato: “The greatest mistake physicians make is that they attempt to cure the body without attempting to cure the mind; yet the mind and the body are one and should not be treated separately!”
Alright. So, you don’t need any (more) convincing on the WHY, right? Time for the HOW!
