Show Find Out What Worries You TWO YEARS AGO Roy H. Jackson, Beaumont, Texas, found , 1 himself with a severe case of indigestion, which continued without relief for a period of six or eight months. He consulted one doctor who could find nothing wrong, then he went to another who, after extensive tests, said he was on the verge of ulcers, adding that this condition was caused by worry and lack of relaxation. The only thing that would clear up this condition would be to relax more and stop worrying. . Roy immediately cut down on his working hours and figured out just what he was worrying about; was it his financial condition? True enough he owed money but his payments were arranged so that he could meet them without strain, and he was living within his means, so he really had no ft : l i .urn. ui.1 worries. CARNEGIE Was it fear of losing his job, and what would happen If he did? He prided himself on being able to hold down his job, and even If he should lose it he felt sure that he could get another one. Anyway, very few people have ever starved to death because they could not find some kind of work, so that particular worry and fear was out. Was he in love with some one else and afraid of being found out? Certainly not for he knew that he had the most wonderful wife in the world and his home life was as happy as he could wish. After this self analysis he found that he really had nothing to worry about, so he stopped worrying. Immediately a great load had been taken off his chest, and since that time he has felt wonderful. won-derful. His suggestion to any of you readers who may be worrying is: If you are worrying, find out what your worries are and a way tr stop them; you will be healthier and happier. |
