If you have a worry problem, do these three things:

1. Ask yourself “what is the worst that can possibly happen?”
2. Prepare to accept it, if you have to.
3. Then calmly proceed to improve on the worst.

That is Dale Carnegie’s advice.  I have seen no better in my life.

Yet, I am a lifetime worrywart.  I think I got it from my mother who was a professional worrier.

So how do you improve on the best advice ever to stop worrying?

Remember to use it.

It always works because 99% of the time that which we worry about never happens and in 1% of the cases, what we feared doesn’t happen the way we anticipated.

So a real commitment to putting worry in its place is to start each day reciting the three things that can help most.

Ben Franklin said, “Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen”.
