An antidote to worry

It occurs to me that people often spend their precious time worrying about things they have no influence over. Somebody said to me “I stayed up all night thinking about the poor horses in the Grand National” This is less than helpful psychologically because it compromises both our positivity and our sense of power (and it doesn’t help the horses either!) Why not spend the time instead either elevating your influence in that situation – (start a blog or twitter campaign! Write an old fashioned letter! ) Or focus on another situation that you can influence. Your sense of personal power and your positivity will increase immediately.
