from The Worry Cure

I'm reading The Worry Cure by Robert Leahy, which my cousin sent to me. It has seven great rules to teach us how to worry. I knew you wouldn't want to miss it, and since I had the time to type them up, I'm passing them on.

1. If something bad could happen--if you can simply imagine it--then it's your responsibility to worry about it.
2. Don't accept any uncertainty--you need to know for sure.
3. Treat all of your negative thoughts as if they are really true.
4. Anything bad that could happen is a reflection of who you are as a person.
5. Failure is unacceptable.
6. Get rid of any negative feelings immediately.
7. Treat everything like an emergency.
