It makes you and others near you unhappy. It destroys your usefulness,
injures your health, kills joy. QUIT THE HABIT. How? By forming new
PLANS of thought, work, expression, activity, and living only one day
at a time. Stop resisting, struggling, let go of selfish purpose,
and start loving. Make a change. Start new. Grow something, make
something, laugh when you think you are going to cry.
=DEPRESSIVE MOODS:= Dress in light colors, Pink, Lavender, Green,
Red, get away from browns, blacks, and dead colors. Try blue if you
are nervous. Eat very lightly, walk till tired, take the salt water
bath, not hot but cool. Stop self-pity, change your surroundings, even
if all you can do is to turn your bed around. Seek new people. MAKE
NEW PLANS DAILY.
=NERVOUS TROUBLES:= Build your body with my Lesson Fifth. Take
plenty of nourishment, sleep in the middle of the day, simplify your
daily living, keep away from sick and unhappy people, stop talking
about your own trials. LET GO. Drop fretting over trifles, check
selfish desires, go afield with the sheep and cattle, do not let
your house-work make you a slave. PLAN some new outlet, do something
different. Banish anger, forget self, help some lame dog across the
street, borrow a poor child and go out to the zoo, lift up someone who
is down, do strong things, avoid excitement, keep out of the crowd,
check strife and antagonism, GET THE HAPPY HABIT.
