Hello, I'm Brian Tracy. Your job is to organize your life and work so as to minimize surprises and problems. However, this is not always possible in spite of your best efforts. If you are already facing a fear or worry inducing situation, here are the four steps of what we refer to as the Worry Buster. Step number one Define the worry situation clearly in writing. Fully half of all problems can be solved just by clearly defining them. Remember, accurate diagnosis is half the cure. Step number two Determine the worst possible outcome of the situation. What is the absolute worst that can happen in this problem situation you're facing? Step number three is Resolve to accept the worst should it occur. The first step in dealing with any negative situation is to be willing to have it. So once you resolve to accept the worst should it occur, your mind will become calm and clear and you'll be ready to take some constructive action. Step number four the final step is to immediately begin doing everything you possibly can to improve upon the worst. To make sure that the worst does not happen. Remember, worry is merely a sustained form of fear caused by indecision. The only real antidote to worry is purposeful action. Get so busy doing something about your situation that you don't have time to worry. As you take action, your confidence and your courage and sense of control will return and wipe away your fears.
