Worrying can make us sick.. How can we stop this way to think, as it can really destroy our health?? Have you any method to stop anxiety and start thinking positive thoughts?
Worry is one of the most common causes of suffering and a contributing factor for overeating, alcoholism, smoking, drug abuse and other compulsive disorders.

I remember a verse in the bible to stop worrying and trust God that everything will be alright. I take anxiety pills to relieve me of too much worrying

Sometimes we need medication, but maybe positive thinking can help too.. "Don't worry about anything, but pray about everything. With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God. Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand. And this peace will control the way you think and feel." Philippians 4:6,7 - The Bible quote was from Contemporary English Version

Hope for the best and chrerish the present. In fact we are already luckier than many people. Sometimes the unlimited demands make us feel worried.

It's very hard sometime to keep from worrying but I do try as much as I can with meditation.

Try to clear your mind. It helps when your not thinking too much. Or make yourself busy and focus your energy on whatever you do. And the last thing I do when anxiety is setting in, I stop myself.
