       I believe if you spend a day saying, “I am not going to worry about anything today,” and focused the entire day on not worrying, you would find that you have a tremendous amount of peace in your mind. But even trying this out may be almost impossible for you, because you have let the roots of worry dig a channel in your brain by which everything flows into, and you may find that even spending a half hour not worrying about something is next to impossible. So, the problem you have developed in your mind is going to take a considerable amount of time to fix. It’s not something that can just happen in one day. It’s like losing weight. It took a long time to put the weight on, and it’s going to take awhile to get it off. We have to form new habits. To get a sample of what I am talking about, I would say to those who suffer from a negative mindset to just spend one evening, when you drive home from work, at just focusing on the present. When a thought comes to your mind about anything outside of the present, just cast it down. Don’t think about it. And trust me, many thoughts will come! Just try on your drive home to only focus on the present.
