In the adversity and challenging situation, it is ok to feel not ok. Let
us address the fear and anxiety with us. One way to do it, empty your thoughts/mind
by writing whatever you have or talk to someone very openly so that it gets out
of your system.

Lessons learnt from As a Man
Thinketh by James Allen – 4.29 ratings in goodreads.com

As a Man Thinketh is a self-help book by James Allen, published in 1903.
It was described by Allen as "... [dealing] with the power of thought, and
particularly with the use and application of thought to happy and beautiful
issues. I have tried to make the book simple, so that all can easily grasp and
follow its teaching, and put into practice the methods which it advises. It
shows how, in his own thought-world, each man holds the key to every condition,
good or bad, that enters into his life, and that, by working patiently and
intelligently upon his thoughts, he may remake his life, and transform his
circumstances. The price of the book is only one shilling, and it can be
carried in the pocket." [2] It was also described by Allen as "A book
that will help you to help yourself", "A pocket companion for
thoughtful people", and "A book on the power and right application of
thought." [3]
