Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My stomach feels like it's tied up in a knot. My knees lock up, and my face feels hot. You know what I mean? I'm Wilma Jean, The Worry Machine." Anxiety is a subjective sense of worry, apprehension, and/or fear. It is considered to be the number one health problem in America. Although quite common, anxiety disorders in children are often misdiagnosed and overlooked. Everyone feels fear, worry and apprehension from time to time, but when these feelings prevent a person from doing what he/she wants and/or needs to do, anxiety becomes a disability. This fun and humorous book addresses the problem of anxiety in a way that relates to children of all ages. It offers creative strategies for parents and teachers to use that can lessen the severity of anxiety. The goal of the book is to give children the tools needed to feel more in control of their anxiety. For those worries that are not in anyone's control (i.e. the weather) a worry hat is introduced. A fun read for Wilmas of all ages! Includes a note to parents and educators with tips on dealing with an anxious child.

Download or read book Worrying written by Francis O'Gorman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-05-21 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worrying: A Literary and Cultural History suggests a unique approach to the inner lifeand its ordinary pains. Francis O'Gorman charts the emergence of our contemporaryidea of worry in the Victorian era and its establishment, after the First World War,as a feature of modernity. For some writers between the Wars, worry was the "diseaseof the age." Worrying examines the everyday kind of worry-the fearful, non-pathological, andusually hidden questioning about uncertain futures. It shows worry to be a naturalcompanion in a world where we try to live by reason and believe we have the right tochoose, finding in the worrier a peculiarly contemporary sufferer whose mental lifeis not only exceptionally familiar, but also deeply strange. Offering an intimately personal account of an all-too-common human experience, and of a word that slips in and out of ordinary conversation so often that it has become invisible in its familiarity,Worrying explores how the modern world has shaped our everyday anxieties.

Download or read book Worry Less Live More written by Robert J. Morgan and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you bury worry before it buries you? Worry, which is essentially a strain of fear, is a rational response to real pressures and problems. Life is harder than we expect, and even the Lord Jesus, the Prince of Peace Himself, admitted, “Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34). He said, “In this world you will have trouble” (John 16:33). On one occasion, He even said, “Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say?” (John 12:27). Our souls are easily troubled. The world and its trials seem to only increase. In nearly forty years of pastoral counseling, Rob Morgan has seen a lot of changes in our culture. People are anxious, and everyone seems increasingly tense and taunt. We’re overextended, running on empty, and often running late. We’re worried and we’re weary. One moment we’re alarmed about global politics and the next we’re frustrated with a clogged commode or a cranky boss. Stress can have a way of keeping us on pins and needles from dawn to darkness. In this book Pastor Morgan leads the way through the investigation of the Bible’s premier passage on the subject of anxiety. Philippians 4:4–9 is God’s most definitive word about overcoming anxiety and experiencing His overwhelming peace. Dissecting the following eight practices this vital passage promotes will help you to wage war on worry: The Practice of Rejoicing The Practice of Gentleness The Practice of Nearness The Practice of Prayer The Practice of Thanksgiving The Practice of Thinking The Practice of Discipleship The Practice of Peace When we study and employ these practices effectively, we have the power to erase anxious thoughts and compose our minds with peace in any situation.

Download or read book Worrying about China written by Gloria Davies and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2007-10-31 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can we do about China? This question, couched in pessimism, is often raised in the West but it is nothing new to the Chinese, who have long worried about themselves. In the last two decades since the “opening” of China, Chinese intellectuals have been carrying on in their own ancient tradition of “patriotic worrying.”As an intellectual mandate, “worrying about China” carries with it the moral obligation of identifying and solving perceived “Chinese problems”—social, political, cultural, historical, or economic—in order to achieve national perfection. In Worrying about China, Gloria Davies pursues this inquiry through a wide range of contemporary topics, including the changing fortunes of radicalism, the peculiarities of Chinese postmodernism, shifts within official discourse, attempts to revive Confucianism for present-day China, and the historically problematic engagement of Chinese intellectuals with Western ideas.Davies explores the way perfectionism permeates and ultimately propels Chinese intellectual talk to the point that the drive for perfection has created a moralism that condemns those who do not contribute to improving China. Inside the heart of the New China persists ancient moralistic attitudes that remain decidedly nonmodern. And inside the postmodernism of thousands of Chinese scholars and intellectuals dwells a decidedly anti-postmodern quest for absolute certainty.

Download or read book Worry Thoughts written by Corbett Shwom and published by Worry House Press. This book was released on 2022-01-21 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EVERYBODY HAS WORRY THOUGHTS!!! And at times it can be hard to think of anything but those worry thoughts. They consume your headspace, they can become disruptive, intrusive, and at times they can be very scary. As irrational as some of them may be, they all feel very real. Worry Thoughts is a rhyming poem-turned storybook and comic strip intended to help the reader or listener of all ages 'reset'. An opportunity to break the thought cycle. Another tool to give some perspective about the worry thoughts. To help change the relationship the reader or listener is having with their worry thoughts. You see, I have been a worrier since I knew what worry was. And although I understand that there is nothing constructive about worry, I've realized that my worry thoughts will never go away. But what I have learned through many a therapist and self-study, is ways to help change the relationship I have with my worry thoughts. Worry Thoughts started out as a poem that I wrote for my daughters when they were quite young. I noticed in both of them early on that they too had worry thoughts. Now I am sure some of that was because they were genetically predisposed, but have to think a good portion of it was learned behavior from dear ole dad. Whether it was reading the poem to them when they were very young, or them reading it to themselves as they got older, the poem helped them reset. Was it the cure-all for all their worry thoughts, no, not at all, it just became one of many ways that helped them change their relationship with their worry thoughts. And that's what it's all about. To be honest, I used the poem all those years back and continue to do so to the current day, why, because just like with them, it helps me reset. Does it always help, no, but it helps give me perspective and at those times I'll take that. I am making Worry Thoughts available in three formats (one book), storybook, comic strip, and the original poem, hoping one of the formats or all the formats at different times, resonates with both young and old - we all have worry thoughts, and my hope is that this book, the simple words, the illustrations, help bring some comfort to those whenever they may need it.
