When anxiety and fear come I try to remember these principals...

Accept the present situation completely – Do not resist accepting anything. I don’t have to like the situation, but, resistance is the majority of the problem. The biggest fear is ‘looking bad’. This must be accepted and not resisted.

Don’t feel sorry for myself – Humility dictates that I should not feel that bad things should not happen to me, they happen to everyone.

Don’t insist on being right – Trying to force my will on other people and the world is a major cause of stress and doesn’t actually work.

Be of service to others and to be kind and loving to all – In the end this is my only real purpose in life. I can only be happy if I am grateful.
