Doctor define “worry” as the inability to act in the present because of concern about something in the future. Thus when you worry, you may avoid doing exactly the thing that could prevent whatever you are worrying so much. Therefore, doctors say that you must not worry so much. The reason for this is that worrying seldom helps to prevent any of the things we fear. Instead, it may cause headaches, backaches, ulcers and cramps. To break away from worrying too much you have to start by allowing yourself only a certain amount of time each day for worrying. You don’t have to give up worrying completely at first, but you must try at first to limit how much time you spend worrying. Then you can work up to a happier, healthier life by cutting down the amount of time you spend worrying.
