Worry into wonder

I've been pondering a passage from a book a friend bought when she and her boyfriend were living in Southeast Portland, and gave me before they moved to China to teach English. The book by Neale Donald Walsch is When Everything Changes, Change Everything and it's a spiritual approach to change. What change is and how to live through it are examples of the aspects of change he explores. This passage I think is one of the best recipes for a positive attitude, and a positive attitude is a prerequisite for growth and success.   

"I promised you at the outset...that when you're through here you'll be be able to change Fear into Excitement, Worry into Wonder, Expectation into Anticipation, Resistance into Acceptance, Disappointment into Detachment, Enragement into Engagement, Addiction into Preference, Requirement into Contentment, Judgment into Observation, Sadness into Happiness, Thought into Presence, Reaction into Response, and a Time of Turmoil into a Time of Peace."

Since the book reads in the form of a journey, the "outset" is the start of the book. By the end, he promises the reader to be able to recognize and feel the negative emotions he lists, and to opt for their positive counterparts. 

Worry into wonder. For example, how do I wonder about what life will be like when my unemployment benefits run out soon, instead of worry about it like I have been? I guess wondering makes room for creativity and a new way of going about things. I'll give it my best.
