Begin to view your present moments as times to live, rather than times to worry about the future. When you catch yourself worrying, ask yourself, \"What am I avoiding now by using up this moment with worry?” Then begin to attack whatever it is you\'re avoiding.
A friend of mine spent a week on an island off the Connecticut coast. She enjoys taking long walks, but soon discovered that there were a number of dogs on the island which were allowed to run free. She decided to fight her worry that they might attack her. She carried a rock in her hand and resolved to show no fear as the dogs came running toward her. Seeing someone who refused to back down, they turned and ran away. While I am not encouraging dangerous behavior, I do believe that a sensibly effective challenge to worry is the most productive way to minimize its role in your life.
Ask yourself over and over, \"Will the future change as a result of my worrying about it?” Try to remember how many of the things you once worried about never become real at all. Also ask yourself; \"What’s the worst thing that could happen to me (or them), and what is the likelihood of it occurring?” You\'ll discover the absurdity of most worries in this way.
Act in direct conflict with your usual areas of worry. If you compulsively save for the future, use some money for your own enjoyment today. Enjoy life; don\'t waste the present with immobilizing thoughts about the future.
These are some techniques for minimizing worry in your life. But the most effective weapon you have is your own determination to drive this neurotic behavior away from your life.
