Is the Worry of Worrying Keeping You Worried?

Posted on May 20, 2011November 8, 2012 by dcadmin

Are your worried about your worries?  Sometimes one worry can lead you to worry about everything else in your life, raising your stress levels through the roof. Unfortunately it is the increased stress, often onset from worrying too much that can lead to anxiety issues that can seriously take an effect on your life.  Anxiety sufferers can become ill, often neglect their family and duties, and may need serious psychological attention.  The fear of anxiety should be enough to make you want to ease away from your worry troubles entirely. Worry can bring you down at work and at home, make sure you work hard to rid yourself of worry so you can live a more fulfilling life.

Many people just need a push in the right direction to take the worry away.  The following are some simple ways that can help keep the worry off your mind for a while:

  • Try not to dwell on the problem all day.  If you find yourself constantly focusing on your worry, try to set aside a specific time in the day when you can think on your worry.  Tell yourself the rest of the day that you will think about your worry at a more convenient time you have already set aside.
  • Learn to calm yourself.  If you feel like your worry is getting the best of you find some way to calm yourself and shift your train of thought to something that makes you comfortable and at ease.  This can be anything from listening to your favorite song, to chewing on a piece of gum.
  • Keep your sleep time for sleeping.  Do you best to avoid thinking of your worry before bedtime, if you dwell on it you are going to toss and turn all night long.
  • Try not to worry about what you can’t control.  There are going to be inevitable troubles in everyone’s life.  Understand that if you have no control over the outcome of a situation or the solution of a problem then there is no sense driving yourself crazy over it.
  • If your problem is solvable, take the time to understand the solution that is best and act on it.  The faster that you can end your worries the better, just be sure that you do not exacerbate the situation with actions that are not thoroughly thought out.
  • Ask for advice.  You never have to go through a worry alone.  Enlist the help of someone you trust and that can offer you sound advice on your problem.   Sometimes just talking out the issue will help you come to a conclusion that can help you with the problem.

Keep in mind that everyone deals with worry in a different ways and that it is normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes, so long as you are never beaten down.
