The reason that I am writing this is because it is advice that I have given many many friends and I know that it works. The principle is simple. Your subconscious has a lot of stuff in it that creates dreams, thoughts, daydreams, even nightmares and weird sensations. It doesn't mean you are a nutter. It means that you have a normal subconscious that works without you participating in its function.

Many shrinks have thought that all of these subconscious thoughts relate to childhood and maybe some of them do, but we have one life and if we live in the past, we harm today. Today is the beginning of the rest of your life. If you go on blaming past events for unhappiness and nervous ailments, sometimes you are right, but sometimes you are not.

A way that you can test my theory is to try my method for a couple of weeks and see how you do. I am not suggesting anyone who is on prescribed medication stops it without the advice of a doctor. I am just saying there are a lot of unhappy people out there that don't need to be so unhappy. My system works well.

First

Decide that you want to make your life less stressful. Decide that you will stick to it for at least two weeks. What is two weeks when compared with a lifetime of stress and self doubt. It will be worthwhile.

Second

Start a diary. You can either download one from download.com, or you can make a word document. It doesn;t matter. What matters is that you are the only person with access to it. There are online diaries as well which you cannot access without a password. One of my ops describes one of these. Use this if there is any chance anyone will read what you are writing.

Third

In the morning when you wake, before you do anything else, turn on the computer, and go to that private place and write exactly what is going through your mind. Do not make it up. Do not preconceive it. Just put your fingers on the keyboard and type whatever your mind tells you to type. It may be angry thoughts, it may be the remains of a dream, it may make no sense whatsoever, but all these things are from waking and the moment you wake they are clearer because the day has not had time to mess them up.

In conjunction with this

At the same time as you are doing your two week tryout, look at events in your current life that are negative. You must have heard about the half full or half empty glass. People who are pessimists view the glass as half empty. Those who are optimists, view it has half full. Take these thoughts one by one, one
