Fuel for positive action
The way to deal with the negative energy of worry is to
transform it into fuel for positive action. Instead of being
obsessed with what might happen, put your focus on what you
are doing.
When worry is the only outlet for your concerns, those
concerns will grow more and more troubling. Not only does
worry fail to address those concerns, it drains time and
resources that could otherwise be put to productive use.
Focused, purposeful, effective action, on the other hand,
points all your energy in a positive direction. And it soon
creates a favorable momentum.
Because of that momentum, little annoyances and distractions
that otherwise would have brought you down are transformed
into compelling reasons to push forward. When you are
focused on action, even the setbacks give you fuel for yet
more action.
When you sense a worry on the horizon of your thoughts, stop
and consider this. What positive, productive thing can you
do, right here and now, that will drain the power from that
worry before it ever gets to you?
Get in the habit of seeing that every concern, every
possible situation, provides fuel for positive action. Use
that fuel to move yourself forward, and no longer will worry
be an issue.
