HOW TO STOP WORRYING By ROBERT W. GUNN and BETSY RASKIN GULLICKSON

Worry is a deluge of repeated thoughts. Over time, such thoughts are virtually re-wiring our brain - making it easier and easier to worry. So how can we stop?
"I remember you saying that 'worry' was one of your primary emotions for a very long time," a colleague recently said to Bob. "Can you write me your pithy version of how you overcame the habit?"
Worry is definitely something that a lot of us are, well, worried about. Recent studies are adding to concerns that negative thoughts can have serious physiological effects."You are what you eat, but you are also what you think," Dr. Daniel Amen, author of several books, including the new Making a Good Brain Great, told Newsweek (Oct. 24, 2005). "Every time you have a thought, your brain releases chemicals. When you have good thoughts, happy thoughts, it's a completely different set of chemicals than when you're feeling angry or hopeless."
Worry is a deluge of repeated thoughts. The first pops into mind, we dwell on it, and pretty soon there is no room for anything other than concern, apprehension. It is impossible to "control" our thinking in that nothing can stop that first worried thought. But we do have free will, the ability to choose whether we chase that first one with another, and another, and another.
Bob was a world class worrier. Optimistic by nature, he even worried that his optimism was worth fretting about. Worry seemed a faithful servant protecting him from mistakes, peril, unforeseen events. Over a lifetime these habits had become a core part of his personality; obvious to everyone. Like water coursing downhill, anxiety had carved deep channels in his very core; worry was part of his character.
Until one day a person close to him asked, "How are things going in the business?" Bob responded, "Great! Why?" "Well," said his friend, "people seem concerned that something is wrong. They are deeply worried - do you think the staff is picking that up from you?" Bob was flabbergasted. "Worry" had become such a normal, familiar thought pattern, part of daily living, that he no longer noticed the feeling, much less imagined that others might be affected by his mood.
Never Shout Fire in a Crowded Theater By ROBERT W. GUNN and BETSY RASKIN GULLICKSON from Comments (0) Good outcomes depend on clear thinking. Cultivate mental balance to keep panic at bay.
The quintessential corporate cog is unflappable. She flits from call to call, flips files easily from in- to out-box, has every answer at her fingertips, even makes sure there's sugar in the coffee room. Lily Tomlin portrays such an achiever in Nine To Five, the 1980 satire about women coping in business.
