Do anxiety attacks come when you least expect them? Do you worry excessively about everything in your life? How can you overcome this fear?
Here are 3 tips to help you overcome this excessive worrying:
1. Repeat your fear. Repeat this fear to yourself until you begin to relax. Did you notice how the words sounds when you say them many times? It can be stressful to say the least when anxiety becomes our best friend. Without meaning to you can make your family, friends and others in your life anxious to. But, the good news is that you can manage your anxiety.
2. It would be hard to over-exaggerate your fear, especially when you are already anxious. But try it. If you have a fear of going into a store with your house slippers on, try it. Believe me this can be a particularly strong fear, I know because I did it. I felt uncomfortable but soon decided that everyone has or has come close to doing the same thing. The point is that almost no one noticed and I lived through it.
3. Do you over analyze every thing you do? When you attend a party, you had a good time, and when you were home you began to wonder – did I say that just right? I sure hope I didn’t offend her by what I said.
And on and on until you are too anxious to sleep. Leave the past in the past and find ways to learn to manage your anxiety.
We all know that our bodies disconnect at times. It’s often the little thoughts in the back of our minds, that add up to anxiety.
Have the courage to learn and manage your anxiety at the same time. When the fear of anxiety comes up, allow it to play out and say that was in the past and this is a new situation.
