Ridding the Consciousness of Worry - Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

Worry is a psychophysical state of consciousness in which you are caught in feelings of helplessness and apprehension about some trouble you don't know how to get rid of.  Perhaps you are seriously concerned about your child, or your health, or a mortgage payment.  Not finding an immediate solution, you start worrying about the situation.  And what do you get?  A headache, nervousness, heart trouble.  Because you do not clearly analyze yourself and your problems, you do not know how to control your feelings or the condition that confronts you.  Instead of wasting time worrying, think positively about how the cause of the problem can be removed.  If you want to get rid of a trouble, calmly analyze your difficulty, setting down point by point the pros and cons of the matter; then determine what steps might be best to accomplish your goal.
