1. Don’t count sheep; count your blessings. Itemize on a sheet of paper all the good things there are in your life. If you are so down in the dumps that you can’t think of any, begin by thinking of a neighbor with whom you wouldn’t trade places. For instance, Mrs. R., who is well-to-do, but whose child is not normal. Or Mr. Z., who has a nagging wife. Or Mrs. Y., whose husband drinks. Then put down as a blessing, “My child is normal and healthy,” or “I have an understanding wife,” or “My husband doesn’t drink.”
2. Set aside definite periods for discussions of finances. Give yourself all the time you need to consider a given problem adequately, but do not allow yourself to think about money at any other time. When you catch yourself thinking negatively about money, force yourself to think about how
well-off you are, by repeating your list of assets. Do this faithfully; it is bound to make you feel better.
3. Learn the ABC Round Robin. Use it to make yourself relax whenever you have a few spare minutes during the day. If you are optimistic and relaxed during the day, you will automatically sleep better at night.
4. Learn the Sleep Exercise and use it after the Robin at night to put yourself to sleep. Just as you are about to drop off to sleep, repeat some of your blessings. You will be amazed at how much happier you will be when you wake up.
5. Remember: Although poverty is unpleasant, and although no normal person wants to be poor, you must think constructively, instead of bemoaning your poverty. Cultivate an optimistic frame of mind and you have gone a long way toward improving your condition.
