TEAR UP YOUR DEMONS
Here are three exercise
to help you confront and dispel your worries.
| 1 |
List five to ten
actions from your past that you truly regret. Add with each
regret, "Is there anything I can do now to undo the
damage?" If there is, write down exactly what you’ll
do. If you have done all you can, let your regrets go. Tear
the paper. |

List five to ten
things you used to worry about. Take a slow stroll through
your list, asking yourself these questions about each entry.
-
Am I still worried
about this?
-
How my worry help in
any way?
-
Did my worry help in
any way?
-
Which of my specific
actions or decisions helped resolve the problem?
-
Did it simply
resolve itself?
-
Did I just have to
learn to live with it?
Review your answer. Do
you see a pattern? You’ll probably discover that worry did
little to help, but specific action and the healing power of
time may have helped a lot.

List five to ten
things you’re worried about right now. They can big or
small. Ask of each item:
-
Will worry in any
way?
-
Which actions can I
take to help resolve the problem?
-
Will the problem
resolve itself?
-
Will just have to
learn to live with it?
Keep the papers that
contain specific actions you’ve decided to take. Put the
others in the shredder. If you can honestly tell yourself that
worrying – not deciding, not planning, not action – has
helped you in the past or can help you now, go right on
worrying. If you can’t find any use in worrying, let the
worrying and start using all that energy to live instead.
