Next to controlling negativity, the second rule to prevent needless stress and anxiety is – to stop worrying. While it is impossible to eliminate worry entirely from our lives, there are some tips you could use that can help you cope with it a bit better.
STRESS MANAGEMENT RULE 2: DON’T WORRY
Worry is by far the most common cause of stress today. And it is no surprise that constant worry just eats into your self confidence as well.
Worry has many external triggers vying for it – money, health (yourself or your family) and relationships, to name a few.
THE APPROACH TO TAKE? TAKE CHARGE
- Try to take everything life throws at you as a challenge. Think up ways to handle the situation. Of course you may not have a solution to all the issues right at the moment, but chances are, worry will not let you see a solution even if there was one right before you.
- Try to beat life at its own game by not being worried sick over all the hurdles it throws at you to get you. Instead try and come up with creative solutions to deal with them, and shift your focus to doing your best.
- What if there is absolutely nothing you can do about the situation? The least you can do then, is to quit worrying because it is not helping anyways.Realize every difficulty is an opportunity in disguise. If nothing else, its an opportunity to grow as a person.
If you are suffering from recurring worry or anxiety, try self hypnosis audios specifically designed to help you stop worrying, and that can help you overcome stress associated with it in the long run.
