Anxiety is a result of envisoning the future without me. So the best defense against worry is staying in communication with me. When you turn your thoughts toward me, you can think much more positively. Remember to listen as well as to speak, making your thoughts a dialogue with me.

If you must consider upcoming events, follow these rules: 1) Do not linger in the future, because anxieties sprout up like mushrooms when you wander there, 2) Remember the promise of my continual presence; include me in any imagery that comes to mind. This mental discipline does not come easily because you are accustomed to being god of your fantacies. However, the reality of my presence with you, now and forevermore, outshines any fantacy you could ever imagine.

 

焦虑是想象没有我的未来而产生的。因此，对抗担忧最好的方法是与我保持沟通。当你把思维转向我时，你能够更积极地思考。记得要边听边说，使你的思维成为跟我的对话。

 

如果你必须考虑即将发生的事情，请遵循这些规则：1）不要徘徊在未来，因为当你在那里徘徊时，焦虑就像蘑菇一样冒出来，2）记住我不断同在的承诺；在心中出现的任何想象中都要包括我。这种心思的操练并不容易，因为你习惯了成为自己幻想的神。然而，我现在和永远与你同在的现实，胜过你能想象到的任何幻想。
