Worry Creates Your Life Emmett Fox, renowned spiritual teacher, tells us that "What we give our attention to will become our life. What we continually think on and worry over will eventually become our life experience."

What you allow your conscious mind to dwell on will produce the seeds that the subconscious mind will plant and grow into your life experience.

This is not up for debate, what your mind dwells on will come into fruition.

Characteristics of a Worryholic Worriers have general characteristics. Check yourself against the list and if you find yourself there. You are a worryholic.

Worriers:

Are selfish

Find faults with others

Gossip Blame others for their situation

Use a lot of "yes, buts"

Are slaves to the opinion of others

Spend more time pondering then doing

See yourself here? You can change these patterns. Become aware and stop yourself when you fall into one of these traps.

The wonderful serenity prayer says it all: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

Understanding Thought and Worry

We will but touch the surface of the study of the three parts of the mind. I strongly recommend that you pursue the study further.

There are three facets of the mind, they are:

The Conscious mind. This would be the farmer spreading seed. Your thoughts are the seeds that are sent to the subconscious mind. If you constantly plant seeds of worry, negativity and doubt then that will be your experience.

The Subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is the soil. It accepts the seeds the conscious mind sends it. It does not judge or censor, it starts to work on producing your thoughts.

The Super conscious mind. This would be the Universal mind, the Higher Power, God or whatever you choose to call it.

Within the Super conscious mind is:

Infinite wisdom

Infinite power

Infinite supply

Infinite intelligence

It is the part of the mind that gives us inspiration, Ah Ha moments and ability.

Your need never worry again once you tap into the power of the mind.

92% of Worries Experts agree that Ninety-two percent of worries are needless.

We worry about:

The past - We can do nothing about it.

The future - Events we worry about may not materialize.

Our health - Making it worse

Eight percent of our other worries are of two kinds:

1. Problems we can do nothing about

2. Problems we can do something about

What to do? No need to worry about those you can do nothing about. So spend your time doing something about the problems you can solve. Take Action.

Summary To summarize, you need to determine if you are a worryholic. If you're reading this article, the odds are pretty good, you are.

You'll need to accept that worrying does nothing constructive for your life.

You'll want at least a minimal understanding of the three parts of mind.
