Do you seem to worry more than most? Do you find that insignificant things stress you out? Do you sweat the small stuff and the big stuff too? Well, now’s the time to stop worrying and start living.
Worry, stress, anxiety – whichever label you prefer to use – can have consequences that impact not only our lives, but the lives of others around us. When we worry it’s like the engine of our mind is constantly being revved up. It doesn’t allow us time to switch off and rest. It tires you out. And when you’re tired you’re less likely to think straight. And when you’re not thinking straight it’s easy to make stupid mistakes and confuse priorities...
But relax. There is a way forward.
In How Not to Worry Paul McGee shows us that there is a way to tackle life’s challenges in a calmer and more considered way. It is possible to use a certain degree of worry and anxiety to spur us on towards positive, constructive action, and then leave the rest behind. With down to earth, real life advice, How Not to Worry helps us understand why worrying is such a big deal and the reasons for it, exposing the behavioural traps we fall into when faced with challenges. It then helps us to move on with tools and ideas to deal with our worries in a more constructive way. -

S.U.M.O. (shut Up, Move On): The Straight Talking Guide to Creating and Enjoying a Brilliant Life
Capstone
S.U.M.O. stands for Shut Up, Move On. It′s a phrase to say to ourselves (and sometimes others) when we are acting or thinking in a way that is hindering our ability to succeed. It doesn′t necessarily mean ′get over it′ or ′pull yourself together′ (although there may be occasions when both responses are necessary). ′Shut Up′ means stop what you′re doing, take time out to reflect, let go of baggage and beliefs that hinder your potential. ′Move On′ means tomorrow can be different from today, look…
S.U.M.O. stands for Shut Up, Move On. It′s a phrase to say to ourselves (and sometimes others) when we are acting or thinking in a way that is hindering our ability to succeed. It doesn′t necessarily mean ′get over it′ or ′pull yourself together′ (although there may be occasions when both responses are necessary). ′Shut Up′ means stop what you′re doing, take time out to reflect, let go of baggage and beliefs that hinder your potential. ′Move On′ means tomorrow can be different from today, look for new possibilities, don′t just think about it, take action. There are six S.U.M.O. principles that are designed to help you create and enjoy a brilliant life. If you are wrestling with life′s challenges, these principles will help you do so more successfully. 1. Change Your T–Shirt – take responsibility for your own life and don′t be a victim. 2. Develop Fruity Thinking – change your thinking and change your results. 3. Hippo Time is OK – understand how setbacks affect you and how to recover from them. 4. Remember the Beachball – increase your understanding and awareness of other people′s world. 5. Learn Latin – change comes through action not intention. Overcome the tendency to put things off. 6. Ditch Doris Day – create your own future rather than leave it to chance. Forget the attitude ′que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be.′ "A superb book. It combines honesty, humour and inspiration to help people move ahead in life." —Allan and Barbara Pease, authors of Why Men Don′t Listen and Women Can′t Read Maps "Powerful, simple and effective. A highly engaging and thought provoking book. Anyone who reads it is sure to look at themselves and the world differently as a result." —Octavius Black and Sebastian Bailey, The Mind Gym The S.U.M.O. guy is Paul McGee, an international speaker and author. He has been developing the S.U.M.O. principles over the last five years.
