Read Carnegie – How to Overcome Anxiety

How to overcome anxiety

In Carnegie's view, for people to succeed, and to continue to succeed, to maintain and build on what has been achieved, one must first learn to overcome anxieties. Let's take a look at Carnegie's advice or ways to overcome your worries.

Famous boxer Jack Depsy said: "In my boxing career, I have found that opponents who are more difficult than heavyweight boxers are worried. I experienced that I could not learn to stop worrying, but to allow worry to eat away at my vitality and affect my success. "Please remember: worry is the fiercest opponent, the enemy of your success.

So, what's so bad about worrying? Carnegie said that worry is the nemesis of longevity.

Dr. Alexis Currier, winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine, said: "Businessmen who don't know how to resist worry will die short- Carnegie added that this is true not only for businessmen, but also for housewives, veterinarians and plasterers.

The famous French philosopher Montan, when elected mayor of his hometown, said to the voters: "I am willing to deal with your affairs with my hands, but I do not want to get them into my liver, lungs and blood." What he meant was that he didn't want the worries at work to ruin his health.

Dr. Joseph Montan, who wrote a book called Neuropathy, said, "Stomach ulcers arise not because of what you eat, but because you are sad about something." "Dr. Edward Podolsky has a monograph called "Removing Sorrows and Diseases", the main chapters of which are:

The effects of worry on the heart

Anxiety causes high blood pressure

Rheumatism can arise from worry

Worry less about your stomach

Worry about how to make you catch a cold

Anxiety and thyroid

Worried diabetics

Do you now know the downsides of worry? I think that as long as you understand the consequences of worrying, you will find ways to overcome it. The first thing you have to do is figure out what you're worried about. Just hope that you don't add new worries in order to overcome your worries.

On overcoming anxiety, Carnegie introduced a universal formula. This formula was invented by Willie Carell. Carell is an engineer and pioneer of air conditioners. Like everyone else, Karel experienced failure, but he eventually overcame his worries and succeeded. He said: "I was so surprised by my failure that I felt as if someone had punched me hard in the head. My stomach and whole stomach began to colic. For a while, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep. Finally, because of my common sense, I remembered that worry does not solve the problem, so I came up with a solution that can solve the problem without worry, and the result is very effective. I have been using this anti-anxiety method for more than 30 years. This method is very simple and can be used by anyone. ”

Carell's Treasure of All Souls is one of the following three steps:

First, calmly analyze the whole situation and then find out what the worst-case scenario is in case of failure.

Second, if you must accept, inescapable, you are ready to accept it.

Third, calmly find ways to spend your time and energy on improving the worst-case scenario that you have psychologically accepted.

Carrell's approach, in Chinese parlance, is to prepare for the worst. This is also one of the principles of putting death and being born later.

Finally, I would like to quote a sentence that has helped Sir William Osler through a carefree life, and I believe that this is also a remedy for you and me to dispel their worries:

The most important thing is not to look at the distant blur, but to do what is clear at hand.
