Box It!

I have worried myself sick (literally) so many times in the past. I have had sleepless nights, I have painted endless terrifying scenarios of the future and have even fainted from excessive worrying! Have you been in the same boat as I? What can we do when worries assail us and we feel that we are about to sink into the abyss of loss, pain and death? Imagine your mind as a drawer with many compartments. Place each worry in one compartment. When dealing with a particular worry, go to the compartment it is kept, open the drawer and deal with it. At other times, leave it in the box and don't even take a peek! Label each box (compartment) and see to it at the appropriate time, ONE box at a time! Catch rogue worries and box them quickly - do not allow them to escape and wander around your mind aimlessly doing mischief. Focus on one box at a time.
