An East Indian proverb says "Imagining fears causes diseases."
Fear can immobilize you, stress your body and consequently make you ill.
Another proverb says "Courage is eternal it will not die, but the thrusting of fear is a terror in the soul and blocks out our Godliness".
Proactive formula: spend some time before falling asleep remembering a moment when you were filled with extreme joy. Be present in that moment of your mind for as long as you'd like. The next time you find yourself feeling worrisome,angry, nervous, sad(all fear-based emotions) "plug-in" your joy memory. You may have to turn back to the memory a few times, as our minds are accustomed to being distracted, and also used to producing feelings of a certain nature-therefore habitually moving toward the same reaction(worry, guilt, ect.); so retraining the mind to focus on happiness is a learned behavior.
hint: there are only two feelings. All of our emotions fall within these two categories: love or fear. Use those joy memories , and start moving into love.
