Therapy Called Work

''The greatest cure known for loneliness, discouragement and discontentment is work that produces a healthy sweat.''

Emotions are sometimes strange, volatile and unpredictable. They do not always respond to logic and reason. They do, however, respond to action. If you have occasional feelings of loneliness, discouragement, or discontentment, the best way to kill such negative emotions is to work them to death. Almost nothing is as bad as it first seems and there is nothing like a hard day's work to put everything in proper perspective. When you begin to feel negative emotions, dwelling in your misfortunes only makes you feel worse. Do your best to put them out of your mind and think about more positive, constructive things. Physical labor can help. Choose a task that does not require a great deal of concentration and then focus on accomplishing the task at hand.
