  control. Worrying is a rehearsal for danger; the act of fretting focuses the 
  mind on a problem so it can search efficiently for solutions. The danger comes 
  when worrying blocks thinking, becoming an end in itself or a path to resignation 
  instead of perseverance. Overworrying about failing increases the likelihood 
  of failure</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.time.com/time/classroom/psych/unit5_article1.html">But why are some people better able to "snap out of it" and get on with the 
  task at hand? Again, given sufficient self-awareness, people develop coping 
  mechanisms. Sadness and discouragement, for instance, are "low arousal" states, 
  and the dispirited salesman who goes out for a run is triggering a high arousal 
  state that is incompatible with staying blue. Relaxation works better for high-energy 
  moods like anger or anxiety. Either way, the idea is to shift to a state of 
  arousal that breaks the destructive cycle of the dominant mood.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/878C1F01-6585-4FEA-9DF5-49761C8D78DC/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
