And smile, smile, smile.

Worrying is about living in a "what if" state of mind and visualizing what you DON'T want to experience, instead of what you DO! When your mind gets stuck on a negative thought, it automatically shifts into high gear and tries to fix the situation.

The Manifesting Manual
Worry is discounting possible future sorrows so that the individual may have present misery.
WILLIAM GEORGE JORDAN
The Improvement Era, vol. 11, 1908
From its earliest days, worrying has been seen as a character weakness, a frailty, a self-indulgence; something that should be avoided, controlled or cured. That explains why worrying -- where the connotation with fear is never far away -- was originally seen as a female complaint, a shortcoming that the Victorian male, with his fabled stiff-upper lip, could certainly never admit to. But as a lifelong male worrier, with as many male friends who admit to similar bouts of insecurity as female, I'm convinced that men have been worrying for just as long as women. It just took them the best part of a century to admit it.
