Show Lecturer Advises College Students When and How to Do Their Worrying A plea for "constructive worrying" worry-ing" was voiced recently by Dr. David Seabury, of New York, in a lecture at" Union college, writes a Schenectady (N. Y.) United Press correspondent. Ordinary worry, Doctor Seabury said, is caused by fear in control of the imagination. The way to avoid this habit, he advised, "is to seek the center of the problem, let the person control the thinking processes, proc-esses, and think straight." Warning against resisting or resenting re-senting difficulties, Doctor Seabury advocated forcing the mind to digest one's problems, thereby starting constructive action to correct or accept the situation. He maintained that a negative attitude at-titude allows fear to enter the mind with the subsequent result that the mind becomes unable to cope with Hie problem. "With fear intoxication." he explained, ex-plained, "the brain is parlly coagulated coag-ulated or unfit for thinking." Also, he added, problems should be correctly judged and handled according ac-cording to their importance. To solve worrisome problems, Doctor Seabury urged "deliberation, discrimination, decision and determination" deter-mination" in opir.S with the ditT'Cul-ties. He concluded his lecture by advising: ad-vising: "Never worry in bed; never worry when depressed; never worry until you know enough facts to do something some-thing constructive: never do another person's worrying; never worry about what someone else thinks you should do; never worry when angry; set a time limit on worry talks; never dump your worries on someone some-one else." |
