HOW TO ABOLISH ANXIETY
You have to stand all alone at every stage and when you say, “I don’t want anxiety in my life.” It is good to have no feeling. When an anxiety passes through you, start treating it in an intelligent way. Say, “I don’t want you” and know you don’t know what to do next. Stand all alone and know it is all wrong for you. Tell your anxiety — talk to it consciously — “I don’t have time for you,” just like you’d tell bandits, robbers, etc. Yet you invite these inner outlaws in and let them wreck your house.
The mind must be changed first; then the feelings follow. Say, “That’s not what I am here on earth for. Get out of my life!” Don’t expect emotions yet. “Oh, I don’t want to put up with this anymore. NO!”
USE THE JOLT
Since evolution is possible, since my mini-brain might grow a little bit, I’ll begin to do what is necessary to make it grow, which is to exercise it. So it is very good for me every time I have a crisis of any kind, financial, emotional, social, every time I have a jolt from you or from society as a whole, or a jolt from my own mind, that is very valuable to me and I'm going to use it rightly from now on. And this is why we have the exercise at the beginning to remember when these crises come, to turn in the right direction, to think on these things, to think properly toward the crisis and to see that there is indeed something I can do.
