		<description>As someone who used to worry - A LOT, I&#039;ve found Sir William Osler&#039;s advice on living in &quot;Day Tight Compartments&quot; most useful.  The idea goes something like this:

When we expound energy worrying about something (especially something we may or may not have the power to change) we don&#039;t have any energy left to change the things we can.  So - the first step is to stop dwelling on the past.  What&#039;s done is done - and anytime we spend worrying about what we wish we&#039;d done differently can&#039;t be used to live today.  

Spending too much time worrying about the future has the same effect.

Thus, we live in Day Tight Compartments.  Each day separate from the last.  Anyone can give their all from Sun Up To Sun Down.  Everyone can do their best for one day.  So each day - you wake up and live that day with as much energy, focus, and enthusiasm as you can.  And then over time - those days of focus and accomplishment start to add up.  

And suddenly the future doesn&#039;t look so scary.</description>
