Eliminating Worry: Your worrying won't
let anything in except those things that fit with your beliefs.
Beliefs are like filters. When you observe life through a
particular filter, you can only receive certain information. The rest is
unavailable.
It's like having your TV tuned to NBC. You're not going to see any shows on CBS,
no matter how hard you try. You can go to therapy, join a support group, or take
assertiveness training. You can even buy a hi-tech, multi-channel satellite
dish, but no matter what you do, if you don't change the channel, you'll still
be watching NBC.
The same is true of worry. Your worrying won't let anything in except those
things that fit with your beliefs. For example, if you believe "life is hard,"
you won't have much fun in life. If good times come, you may tell yourself "they
won't last. . . so be prepared for the worst".
On the other hand, if you believe "life is good and getting better," you'll
probably have a lot less stress. Even when difficulties come, you may be
thinking "they won't last. . . and it's always darkest just before the dawn".
The lesson is simple. If you don't like how things are going, if you don't like
how you're feeling, change the channel.
Worry is the most
destructive emotion known to mankind, and yet most people
spend more time on worry than they do on constructive
thought. Stop it, once and for all. In this live presentation, Dr. Zimmerman outlines the 12 key
strategies that will get rid of the worry in your life.
They're simple strategies--so you can start to use them as
soon as you listen to the MP3. And with a little practice, you

be damaging your peace of mind.
