When we are in school, we worry about our grades. When we are out of school, we worry if we can land a good job. When we are in a job, we worry if we can keep the job. When we are out of job, we worry about the roof over our head. When we are ready for marriage, we worry that we might not find a partner. When we finally settle down, we worry if the partnership will last. When no sign of a baby is coming, we are worried. When a baby is coming along, we worry if he will emerge healthy. When the baby learns to walk, we worry he might fall. When he grows up, we worry he will fall into bad company. There seems no lack of things to worry about.
1) Keep yourself busy. When you are occupied physically and mentally, you will not have time to think about unpleasant things and get worried unnecessary.
2) Think only of pleasant things that might happen. Focus on the positive. Do not dwell on things that depress you. Instead spend your time on things that will lift you.
3) Know that worrying alone is not constructive. You are entertaining negative thoughts and carrying excessive negative thoughts will certainly lead to health problems. So, wise up and stop worrying.
4) Don't worry about past mistake or misdeed. It is already over and done with. No matter how much you worry, the situation will not change. Let the past be in the past. Let it rest.
5) Likewise, don't worry about the future. No amount of worrying will affect future occurrence. Whatever will come, will come. Whatever will not come, will not come. Do yourself a favor. Cross the bridge only when you come to it.
6) Instead of worrying about your problem, think of ways to handle the situation. Brainstorm and list all the possible solutions. Go through each and every one and decide on the best possible solution. Then, take action. With every action and positive step, the problem will slowly but surely diminish.
7) There may be times when you find yourself up against a tough situation and that there is nothing much you can do about it. If that being the case, surrender and let it be. Tell the problem you are sorry that you are not able to help and will leave it to take care of itself. Send it away with love.
Stop worrying and start living.

I like point number seven the most! Problems can seem like enemies or monsters, I guess not if you treat them kindly!Hi Jennifer,Thank you so much for reading and sharing your view.Agree. If we treat 'these little monsters' with love and respect, it is difficult for them to continue being mean to us. : ))Warm regards,JL
Hi KL. I loved the points in your article. Several years ago I resolved to "keep my thoughts positive as I am the result of what I think" and found this over time has changed the way I think about myself and the things I used to worry about.

It encapsulates many of the things I believe in.Hello Wayne,Welcome to SearchWarp!Thanks for reading and commenting.
