Nervousness
How can nervousness be removed with the aid of concentration ? We must know what nervousness is, what its causes are, and how they can be removed.
What is it? It is the leaking away of the vital or nervous force against our will. The activity of the individual is such that while you may desire to act in a certain way, you cannot, in spite of the desire. Physically the hand will shake although you may desire to hold it steady. Mentally the person who is nervous cannot think on one thing for any length of time. He has thoughts which are his own, but the determining cause of them is not himsef, but something outside. The indulging of bad habits is a form of nervousness. You may, desire not to, but you do the act.
