Our minds are terrible things to waste! I have heard that on commercials for years, focusing upon our kids' education. However, Paul stated the same right here in his letter to the believers in Rome in the first century! His focus was not upon education in a worldly sense however. 
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. (Romans 8:5-8)
Focusing our thinking on worldly desires and issues will lead to an early death. Stress kills for sure . . . strokes, heart attacks, and more. Chasing the world will also lead to spiritual death; separation from God! Yet chasing after our relationship with God and seeking to please Him brings a peace beyond human understanding.
It has been proven that those with a personal relationship with God live longer or at least a more peaceful life. We know Who is in control . . . not the President, not the money regulators, and definitely not the news casters! We place our trust in God and God alone as we navigate this dying world with one goal in mind . . . to make others to know Him as well.
RELAX!
