Does anxiety have an overwhelming pull in your life? Fortunately, there are some simple steps you can deal with your anxiety.
Tip 1 - Stop Overthinking
Before you can begin to address or cope with your habit of overthinking, you need to learn to be aware of it when it's happening. Any time you find yourself doubting or feeling stressed or anxious, step back and look at the situation and how you're responding. In that moment of awareness is the seed of the change you want to make. Overthinking is caused by a single emotion: fear. When you focus on all the negative things that might happen, it's easy to become paralyzed. Next time you sense that you starting to spiral in that direction, stop. Visualize all the things that can go right and keep those thoughts present and up front. Overthinking is something that can happen to anyone. But if you have a great system for dealing with it you can kick off some of the negative, anxious, stressful thinking and turn it into something useful, productive, and effective, from your mind.
Tip 2 - Meditation
Meditation isn't about becoming a different person, a new person, or even a better person. It's about training in awareness and getting a healthy sense of perspective. You're not trying to turn off your thoughts or feelings. You're learning to observe them without judgement. And eventually, you may start to better understand them as well.
Through meditation, we familiarize ourselves with anxiety-inducing thoughts and storylines. We learn to see them, sit with them, and let them go. In doing so, we learn two important things: thoughts do not define us, and thoughts are not real. Within this newfound perspective, we are able to gradually change our relationship with anxiety, differentiating between what is an irrational episode and what's true.
Tip 3 - Start loving yourself
Loving yourself, caring yourself is very essential when dealing with anxiety. When you care yourself you love yourself and have a healthy respect for serving your own needs. With this comes a deep love and compassion. Your body always knows what it needs and when you slow down the mind we can hear the message it is giving you.Listen actively to the signals from you body each day and develop and open relationship between your body and your mind, so that both may flourish.
Tip 4 - Focus on what you can change
Many times anxiety stems from fearing things that haven’t even happened and may never occur. For example, even though everything is okay, you may still worry about potential issues, such as losing your job, becoming ill, or the safety of your loved ones. Life can be unpredictable and no matter how hard you try, you can’t always control what happens. However, you can decide how you are going to deal with the unknown. You can turn your anxiety into a source of strength by letting go of fear and focusing on gratitude. Replace your fears by changing your attitude about them. For example, stop fearing to lose your job and instead focus on how grateful you are to have a job. Come to work determined to do your best. Instead of fearing your loved one's safety, spend time with them or express your appreciation of them. With a little practice, you can learn to dump your anxiety and pick up a more positive outlook.
