We all worry at times, and there is probably no way to stop worrying forever.There are some ways to stop right now, however.The following tips on how to stop worrying come from experience, because I’ve always been a bit of a worrier, and I had to learn some good techniques for stopping this energy-sucking habit.Here are five of the best.
1.________.Any action towards a goal tends to diminish(使减小) worry.Thinking too much about your goals or plans will cause you worry and stress.Of course you should plan well, but when planning is carried towards worrying, it’s time to start doing something positive.
2.________.When you want to stop worrying too much about a problem, you need to make decisive decisions, and even bad decisions may be better than doing nothing.Often you will immediately resolve(解决)the stress when you, for example, finally decide to give up that job, buy that house, or make that phone call.Nothing makes you with worry as much as decisions waiting to be made.Make them now, or at least start gathering the information you need to make them.If they proved to be bad decisions, just make new ones.
3.________.Too many things going on in your head?Put them on lists and you may feel better.It works well for many of us worriers.When you are thinking too much about something, and you stop to plan a time to work on it, or just put it on a list, it is easier to let go of it for now.Write down that phone call you have to make on tomorrow’s list, and you’ll feel less worried now.You’re basically creating“mental categories”.In fact, just saying to yourself,“There’s nothing I can do about this until Monday,”can put a worry into a category of“nothing to worry about right now.”
4.________.To get away worry when there are real problems, try to face them head-on(正面的/地), and decide them quickly.I once had to sue(起诉)someone over a business matter, and I was worrying about it for weeks.When I finally just filed the papers, got on the phone, and came to an agreement, my stress was gone.Actually, my worrying began to disappear as soon as I started acting.
5.________.Planning in mind is a great way to relax and to stop worrying, but what if you don’t have the time for more involved meditative practice?Don’t worry.Just try this:close your eyes, let the tension out of your body and take several deep breaths through your nose.That’s it.Want even easier meditation?Try brain wave entertainment CDs that do all the work for you.Just pop on the headphones and they’ll relax you by slowing your brain waves.
Try the above techniques.Make habits out of whichever ones work best to stop your worries.They need to be habits because nothing works if you forget to use it.In fact, until they become habitual, you may want to carry a list of your favorite techniques for eliminating worry.
A.Make decisive decisions
B.Deal with problems directly and quickly
C.Plan in mind to get worry away
D.Use mental categories
E.Put worries on the lists
F.Take action now

Real-life Friends
Most people know the saying: A man's best friend is his dog; and that Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. However, dogs can’t offer advice or make you a cup of tea when you need one; and precious stones are cold comfort when you need a hug, and a shoulder to cry on.
What are Friends?
There are many ways to describe a friend. Friends are the family you can choose for yourself. Friends are a much better medication(医疗)than medication is, and people who spend time with friends are happier with their lives as they are less lonely.
A good friend will put you to bed when you’re lost consciousness. Ensure you’re not laid on your back, and remember to remove your shoes. You should be able to tell a true friend anything without being judged by them.
How do Friendships Begin?
This is an easy question. Find someone else who has similar interests with you. You now have another person to talk to about your shared interest but remember they like to talk too, so be prepared to shut up and listen once in a while. Hopefully they will have other friends and will introduce you to them, thereby expanding your circle.
Friendships which begin due to location, for example, next-door neighbors or school classmates, rarely survive transitions such as moving to other neighborhoods, schools, colleges, jobs, immigration, and so forth. Attend a school reunion and you’ll wonder what on earth you ever had in common with these people other than your age, although it is possible to have a friendship with someone you met at school. Mutually maintain it, and eventually become godparent or “uncle” to each others’ children.
How Friendships are Maintained
To have a friend you must also be a friend and be prepared to be there for them should they need you. Failure in this respect would label you a fair-weather friend and you would most probably be abandoned.
Boundaries
Like every other relationship you have in your life, there are boundaries you shouldn’t cross with your friends. One of those is money: Don’t lend to your friend and don’t ask for a loan yourself.
Friends are unpaid counselors(顾问),but phoning them at 2 am because you’re awake and would like a chat is not a good idea. Neither is phoning them at 10 am if you know they’re a shift-worker. Friends are people who need some space and quiet time. Generally, it all boils down to mutual respect and understanding.
It’s not a good plan to interrupt your friend while they’re on a date/on holiday/attending an orchestral recital/at a funeral.
Trust
Trust is the most vital element in any relationship. If you’re not trustworthy then you probably don’t deserve friends, so try to remember that you promised to see that dull film with them or applaud them at their first attempt at a karaoke or an Open Mic night. If you have promised to look after their clothes while they go for a bet, then make sure you do. You might like to carry enough cash to help them out too, as you never know when that situation might be reversed.
Don’t lie to your friend: if they know you well they’ll know you’re lying or will at least be suspicious. If you find out something that you know will hurt your friend, be tactful(圆滑). Do they need to know? Would they appreciate knowing? Can you tell their mum so she can break the news? Cowardly, yes, but mums usually have a much better way with words. Remember, if you do decide to tell them and it’s painful, they will probably need some time alone, after lashing out at(抨击)the closest thing—you. In that case, play the waiting game. Then don’t beat them up about it afterwards.
A Friend for Life
Strong friendships can last a lifetime with care and consideration. The benefits are multi-folds; you’ve got someone to share birthday cake with, and especially for single people, a pub meal or a trip to the cinema is no fun alone, is it? Plus it’s always nice to know there’s someone there for you, as you’re there for them, through the bad times as well as the good. Altogether now: Oh I get by with a little help from my friends. Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends.
