Anxieties About Your
Health
Nátuře always tends toward health.
The truest help we can give is not to
think of our bodies, weil or ill, more than
is necessary for their best health.
When ill, use every necessary remedy;
do all that is best to bring renewed
health. Having made sure you are do mg
all you can, forget. When pain or other
sufíering puts forgetting out of the ques-
tion, use no unnecessary resistance, and
forget,as soon as the pain is past. Don’t
strengthen the impression by talking
1 about it or telling it over to no purpose.
Here are some simple directions which
niay help nervous patients. If simply ancl
steadily obeyed, they will shorten the
siege by many days, nay, by many weeks
or months, in some eases.
All your worries and anxieties now are
tired nerveš. When a worry appears drop
it. If it appears again, drop it again.
• And so. continue to drop it if it appears
lifty or a hundred times a day or more.
If you feel like cryin, cry; but know
it is the tired nerveš that are crying,
and doiTt wonder why you are so foolish;
donT feel ashamed of yourself.
If you cannot sleep, don’t care. Gct
i all the rest you can without sleeping,
That will bring sleep when it is ready to
come, or you are ready to háve it. Think
about everything in nátuře, Follow the
gr-owing of the trees and flowers. Re-
member all the beauties in nátuře you
háve ever seen. Read bright stories for
children, and quiet novels. Sometimes
it helpe to work on arithmetie. Keep aloof
from emotions. Think of other people.
Never think of yourself.
