Break the Worry Habit Before It Breaks You 

• Keep busy.  “The secret of being miserable is to have the leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not.” —George Bernard Shaw  
• Don’t fuss about trifles.  Benjamin Disraeli, statesman, said, “Life is too short to be little.” So, let us not major in the minors.  
• Use the law of averages to outlaw your worries.  “We could probably outlaw 90% of our worries right now if we would cease our fretting long enough to discover whether, by the law of averages, there was any justification for our worries.” —Dale Carnegie  
• Cooperate with the inevitable.  “If we rail and kick against it and grow bitter, we won’t change the inevitable; but we will change ourselves You can either bend with the inevitable sleet storms of life —or you can resist them and break.” —Dale Carnegie  
• Decide just how much anxiety a thing may be worth and refuse to give it more.  “We are fools when we overpay for a thing in terms of what it takes out of our very existence.” —Dale Carnegie  
• Don’t worry about the past.  “Let the past bury its dead. Don’t saw sawdust.” —Dale Carnegie
