Worry Too Much Is Dangerous To Your Health!
Many people feel stressed in today's world, saddled with worry about finances, jobs, family concerns and any number of other problems. As a result, many individuals find it difficult to have the confidence and self esteem that they need to have in order to live a happy life. Further more worry is a silent killer. It is like a toxin. It is a chronic illness. In fact, it is an illness which is many folds more dreadful than the physical illnesses. Worry not only affects our body but our mind too.
Worry Does Not Solve Your Problems!
Sometimes it seems as though the negative aspects of life far outweigh the positive aspects. However, you should find solace in the fact that you can improve your confidence and your self esteem, thus reducing your worry and improving your life in general.Deep down inside everyone knows that worrying about a problem will actually do nothing to solve the problem itself, yet worry is something that seems to automatically go with problems.It is often very difficult to look at a problem from an objective point of view without feeling a sense of worry, especially when the problem as involving something that is vitally important to you and your sense of well being. The question then becomes one of how to live more contently, even in the face of problems.
Have Faith In Yourself!
Unfortunately, problems are something that no one can completely erase from their lives. However, by finding a deeper connection with your faith, it is often possible to be content and even be happy, despite the fact that things may not entirely be going your way. The realization that there is something greater than yourself and the problems that you are experiencing is often exactly what you need to feel better about things and to have a greater sense of self esteem and self worth. This in turn increases your confidence and often gives you the freedom that you need to live your life completely instead of allowing the barriers of fear and self doubt to paralyze you at every turn. Therefore, finding that connection with your faith is vitally important in order to reach your full potential.
If you think seriously, you would find that it is really useless worrying about anything. It is really foolish to worry about past or future. Nobody can change the past. Whatever has happened has happened. Why worry? How can something that has yet not come to pass affect us? How are we so certain that the future is so bleak? Things may turn out well. Why worry then? Worrying just tires us and diminishes our capacity of clear thinking and planning. It promotes negative thinking. Instead of worrying we should use positive affirmations and resolutions.

Never Make Worrying A Habit!
If worry could solve the problem, everybody would worry as much as possible. Problem solving requires clear thinking and planning. But worry makes us incapable of clear thinking and planning. Many things, if they are going to happen, will happen regardless of our worry. If it is going to rain, it will. Not only we should not worry about little things, but we should also not worry about seemingly big things. The things that seem today very big and important will seem trifle tomorrow. In your student life you must have worried for days about the wrong answer you gave, even though you knew the right answer, to an objective type of question carrying just half mark. How much you worried about a dress for a special occasion, meeting a boy or girl whom you fancied, or the change of residence of a friend’s family? Do these matters a bit today? Why worry about spilled milk, or a broken glass, or a missed bus?
Of course, nobody worries for the sake of worrying. Worry just comes into mind and then never leaves. But many people never worry. It seems that worrying is a sort of bad habit. As all bad habits the habit of worrying is also difficult to get rid of. So, in the first instance, never make worrying a habit. Secondly, try to divert your mind. Think of positive things. Get busy with some physical activity. Keep yourself away from people who are habitually worrying type and who always see the negative side of a thing.
Instead of useless worrying, one should take positive action, smile my friend you are wonderful!
BE HAPPY!
