A piece of an article I found on www.realpuas.com
"Don't allow yourself to feel worried. Just let your worries go, since you can't solve any problem by worrying. So suck it up, and quit thinking about what might go wrong. Just live life.
Now, I know what I just said is easier said than done (to use an old--but relevant in this case--cliche). You've spent your whole life up until now dwelling on thoughts that make you feel worried.
But what is this emotion we call "worry"? When you think about it, it's simply the fear of what might happen in the future. Essentially you're punishing yourself by feeling upset before anything bad has happened. It makes no logical sense to worry!
So the solution is to avoid contemplating your worrisome thoughts anymore. Identify them for what they are... toxic to your emotional state, and... let them go."
I know that this might seem like "old news" to some of you. And I've already applied it to my PUA-part of life. But these few lines also made me realise that I don't have to worry about anything else(non-PUA) either! So I have this awesome feeling inside my body right now, EVEN IF I have a math test tomorrow, an english test on friday and history on tuesday. Everything is going to be alright..HELL YEAH!
