One of the most valuable things that I know how to do is to
be a Pollyanna. Most of the things we worry about never happen. Worrying and guilt are both wastes of time. You will lower your stress level immensely if you eliminate
those things from your life.

The way I do this if I have a problem is to imagine the worst scenario possible and then decide how I will cope
with it when it occurs. Since I have filed the solution away in my mind, I no longer have to think about it.

Positive thinking has been a real safeguard for me. I keep
a list of things I want to happen and refer to it often.
I realize in many ways I have been very fortunate. The
thing I am most grateful for is good health but I do not dwell on it with evangelistic fervor.

You have to take the bitter with the sweet. Appreciate
the sweet while you have it and don't fail to enjoy it because the worry demon is nipping at your heels.
