=Worry and fear:= Ask yourself this question:  “How many things I have worried about and feared ever happened to me?” You will see how few, and only those you attracted.  Worry is lost energy.  It is like a rocking chair, keeps going but never gets anywhere.  It is like a mill-owner starting all the machinery of his mill, then going away, leaving it running to injury and destruction.  It is a miserable habit.  It makes you and others near you unhappy.  It destroys your usefulness, injures your health, kills joy.  Quit the habit.  How?  By forming new plans of thought, work, expression, activity, and living only one day at a time.  Stop resisting, struggling, let go of selfish purpose, and start loving.  Make a change.  Start new.  Grow something, make something, laugh when you think you are going to cry.

=Depressive moods:= Dress in light colors, Pink, Lavender, Green, Red, get away from browns, blacks, and dead colors.  Try blue if you are nervous.  Eat very lightly, walk till tired, take the salt water bath, not hot but cool.  Stop self-pity, change your surroundings, even if all you can do is to turn your bed around.  Seek new people.  Make new plans daily.

=Insomnia:= Retire loving the world, letting go of self.  Drink a cup of hot water, quarter milk, with a bit of salt.  Relax mind and body, say the word, sleep just with the rhythmic swing of a clock pendulum slowly.  You will sleep.

=Be rid of habits:= Quit making excuses for the habit, stop lying about its being hereditary.  Resolve, and you are free.  Keep away from the cause of your habit.  Shame yourself when you commit it.  Praise yourself when you master it once.  Destroy the desire of your habit, by putting a good desire in its place.  Stop buying tobacco, or drink, and buy flowers, music, or a farm.  Rouse your willSeverely call yourself to account when you slip.  Stop talking about how you suffer, or how hard it is, talk about the
