Headaches are one of man's most common enemies. Most people get headaches from time to time. What causes headaches and what can we do about them?
Probably more than 90% of all headaches are caused by worry or tension. Modern living produces tension for everybody-at work, at school and at home. What can we do about tension and worry in our lives? First, find what is causing the tension. It may be caused by emotions. Do you worry too much over what people think of you, over your clothes, or about what you did or didn't say? Are you on good terms with your employer, neighbor, best friend, school friend or family? If not, why not? Next, find a way of reducing tensions. Gardening, walking, running, swimming or any activity suitable for your age will help reduce tension. Then look at your way of life. Ask yourself, where am I going? And why? Learn the secre
t of relaxation. Lie down in a dark quiet room and relax as much as possible by taking several slow breaths. Let all your muscles relax.
Habits of daily living also produce headaches. These include lack of exercise, especially sitting for hours watching TV or studying, lack of fresh air, lack of sleep and eating too much. Get in the habit of balanced living: plenty of sleep, regular exercise, regular meals, good food, fresh air and avoiding harmful things such as heavy smoking, alcohol and strong coffee. A headache can be the body's reaction against these things.
There are other causes of headaches. Headaches may be caused by infections or low blood sugar. If your headache gets worse, see your doctor.

During the Second World War, I met a housewife from Chicago who told me how she discovered for hers
elf that “the cure for worry is to get completely occupied doing something constructive.”
I met this woman and her husband in the dining car while I was traveling from New York to my farm in Missouri. This couple told me that their son had joined the armed forces the day after Pearl Harbour. The woman told me that she had almost ruined her health worrying over that only son. Where was he? Was he safe? Or in action? Would he be wounded? Killed? When I asked her how she overcame her worry, she replied: “I got busy." She told me that at first she had dismissed her maid and tried to keep busy by doing all her housework herself. But that didn’t help much.
“The trouble was,” she said, “that I could do my housework almost mechanically. So I kept on worrying. While making the beds and washing the dishes, I realized I needed some new kind of work that would keep me busy both mentally and physically. So I took a job as a saleswoman in a store.” “That did it,” she said. “I immediately found myself in a lot of activities: customers crowding around me, asking for prices, sizes, colors. Never a second to think of anything except my immediate duty; And when night came, I could think of nothing
