(Indeed, I’ve been worrying a lot lately—at times—about whether we’d even be considered by Blue Cross for the major medical payments—so I’ve also been worrying about what we’d do if this worst scenario came to pass. [...]

[...] It was about 2:00 AM, and I’d spent a restless night, waking up often, worrying about when and if we’d ever get the insurance payment business straightened out. [...]

When he worries about his book, this is simply a demonstration of the still-remaining lack of trust in the motion of his own psyche. [...]

This means that he is bravely and fully encountering himself, so if he comes up against worries for example about his work, tell him to be patient. [...]

Because of the personal material given in late sessions, Ruburt has the habit of worrying—protecting the idea of time and ability as described, so that in one day he will worry about what distractions may arise the next day, and this puts him on guard. [...]

[...] You worried about time and your painting and “Unknown” Reality, and you would not relax. You worried about other issues that I told you about—taxes and money. You not only worried about the present, but you dwelled upon the “past mistakes.” [...]

[...] On top of that, you projected worries into the future as well. [...] You were too weak to worry.

Now: it may seem to most people that an exuberant, always-vital, energetic, healthy body would indeed be one of the greatest gifts of all—a body that never worried or showed signs of any disorder, a body that went ahead on its own, so to speak, propelled by feelings of strength and vigor. [...]

It is paramount then that Ruburt trust his body now, and not be worried. [...]

[...] He should not be worried if a freedom shows one day, then, and not the next. [...]

The important thing is for him not to worry at any given stage, for there will be many fleeting stages—very fleeting—as long as he trusts the process. [...]

Now, I bid you a fond good evening—and if you will really remember what I say, and take it to heart, then your chest would not bother you when you exert yourself or worry; and if you would remind yourself during your naptime that the vitality of the universe is indeed surging through your body as you sleep, then you would rid yourself of that annoying difficulty.

While he worries sometimes about future money, or how he will make out, generally speaking he can handle that, and knows that left alone his creativity will, and is, producing financial as well as other results. He may worry about prices in the grocery store—and he does—but you do think in terms of financial limitations. [...]

[...] Nor could I take any comfort from Seth’s remarks about encountering strangers, or even friends, I said, since it seemed that whenever any outsider was present we were both constantly worrying about whether they would notice Jane’s condition, whether she ever got on her feet, and so forth, until it seemed that those episodes were hardly worthwhile. Jim Poett told us that the Voice will send a photographer up for pictures, so I’d figured we’d spend time worrying about that, too.

[...] I’ve noticed that the worry interferes with my appetite—something most unusual.

The suggestions you are using now, however, are in concert with the current stage, and that means that if the two of you can stop worrying long enough you will be met again by some vastly reassuring new walking attempts.

[...] Sometimes your body bothers you, and it is saying “You worry too much. [...] Instead, you then promptly worry about your body, concentrate upon its malfunctions, focus upon its problems. [...] The rules, again, appear too simple: refuse to worry. [...]

(I’m naturally worried that I’ve created a physical condition, and so is Jane. [...]

(Last night while we made love I broke down and cried for my worry over Jane.

(“Has he been inhibiting his recovery toward walking by worrying about it?”)

It is not so much that he has been worrying—but at times he does think of the impediments that stand seemingly in his way. [...]

[...] I am simply not going to waste time by telling you that you have nothing to worry about financially, for neither of you believe me. [...] It does matter if you worry too much.

Actually, many times he walks to the bathroom faster at night, since he is not worried about how he looks. [...]

He did well in other areas when you were concentrating only upon the bathroom, for he ceased worrying, concentrating upon one area where he could and did improve.

[...] She listened with a worried air. [...]

2. I worry that Through My Eyes, say, will take too long.

2. Refuse to worry. [...] Tell yourself you can worry all you want tomorrow, or on some other occasion — but resolve not to worry in the present moment.

[...] Suggestions given then, good ones, to a mind already distracted by fear or worry, will do little good.

[...] This will automatically allow him to gain weight faster, for much of the energy taken in goes out through these worries.

[...] He can keep his spirits up considerably by remembering to devote three hours to writing—James or otherwise, but he should not lapse into worrying about his condition. [...]

[...] This particularly applies to times when he is worrying about what might happen, or how he might perform in the future. [...]

[...] When someone has been worried about their appearance, however, as Ruburt has, then honest compliments, when appropriate, operate most strongly as positive suggestion.

You felt alone because you felt you were worrying alone. [...] He has attempted however to give the impression of not worrying, and to constructively think in terms of plenty.

[...] An overemphasis on financial matters is indeed detrimental, but if you are worrying about money you are as overly concerned with it as any miser.

[...] Your own worries have been causing some difficulties here.

[...] Do not worry about the insurance situation. [...]

As much as possible, playfully (underlined twice) imagine your worries floating away. [...]
