You want health, happiness progress and growth. But these things cannot drop from heaven or come like bolts from the blue. They have to be planted first in thoughts before blossoming in action. Therefore, scrap the negatives of “can’t”, “afraid” and so on. And instead cultivate “can”, “will” and “dare”.
Fatigue often produces worry, or at least, it makes you susceptible to worry. Fatigue lowers physical resistance to the common cold and hundreds of other diseases and that fatigue also lower you resistance to the emotions of fear and worry. To prevent fatigue and worry, the first rule is: Rest often. Rest before you get tired.
Much fatigue comes from too much thinking and not enough doing. Socrates once said that: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Some have little awareness of the source of their difficulties. How can you find out yours?
Dr David Fink made a study of the case histories to discover whether there was a common denominator in the symptoms of those he was treating. He examined many thousands of cases and divided the patients into those who suffered from anxiety states and those who did not. He found that all in the group suffering from extreme tension had one trait in common: they were all hypercritical people. Why they were people who found fault with everything in everybody.
They may have been hypercritical because they were sick. But at the same time it is difficult for the chronic fault-finder to relax.
The law of projection teaches that our impression of other people is coloured by our personality traits which we unconsciously project upon them.
