aE 6" oe -———— WHY WORRY? , ORRY uses an im- *mense amount of vital force. People who worry not only use up their energy during the day by worrying, but they rob themselves of that greatest of all restor- atives, sleep. People who worry can’t sleep. They lose their appetite. They often end up by getting really ill. How often have you heard it said, ‘I am worried to death!’ ? What do you suppose would happen if a person who was putting himself into mental, moral and physical bankruptcy by worrying were to convert all this worry-energy into constructive action? In no time at all he would have accomplished so much that he would have nothing to worry about. Nothing is more discouraging to a worrying person than to have someone say, ‘Oh, don’t worry, it will all come out right!’ That is not reassuring at all. The worrying one can’t see how it is going to come out all right. But if the men and women who worry could be shown how to overcome the troubles and diffi- culties that cause worry, they soon would cease wasting their very life-blood in worrying. Instead they would begin devoting their energies to a con- structive effort that would gain them freedom from worry for the rest of their lives. You say that sounds plausible, but can it be done ? It can be done, and is being done, by Pel- manism, every day in the year. This is all the more remarkable because today the whole world is in an upset condition and people are worrying to an unusual extent. Yet, every mail brings letters to the Pelman Institute from grateful Pel- manists who have ceased to worry. People today are all too prone to\ complain that they just have to worry. become Pelmanists they cease this negative form of thought.
