Conquering worry in five easy steps

Published April 26, 2012 | By Debra

Stop losing sleep worrying about something!

Here’s how:

1. Ask yourself: “What am I worrying about?” Get the facts.

2. Ask yourself: “What can I do about it? Analyze the facts.

3. Arrive at a decision

4. Start immediately to carry out that decision: take action (do something about it)!

5. Once you’ve decided on a course of action, JUST DO IT! No second guessing or looking back.

Now go to bed and get a good night sleep : )

In Peace (and sweet dreams),

Debra

As you move into your weekend, here are five journal writing prompts for your quiet YOU time:

What are you currently thankful for? What we appreciate appreciates…
What are you feeling indecisive about? How would it feel if you just made up your mind, committed, and decided about it? Decision making plays a huge roll in how we feel about our lives. I will be writing a post on decision making in the near future…
What would you like to do this weekend that is just pure fun?
If you were to think about five fears from now, what would you like to be doing? Describe your life in great detail. Now, what if you had only five months to make these things happen. What would you do?
List some new things that you are excited to learn about.

Have a beautiful day and weekend,

Debra
