Sadly many people now suffer from anxiety; it can have a number of factors relating to modern life. There is no national boundary or age limit when it comes to anxiety. Whatever the cause, it can have a serious effect on the concerned individuals. For those people who are afflicted there are only two choices - give in to it or overcome it. Giving in to anxiety will result in an unhappy life full of stress and worry, the best choice is to work towards overcoming the causes. There are 7 useful steps you can try -
1. Try to control your thoughts at all times. You should not allow your mind to get full of negative thoughts, they achieve nothing. There are always positive aspects to everyone's life; these are what you should be thinking about.
2. Try to stop yourself from having quick emotional reactions to situations. Learn to stay calm, composed, and practice self-discipline.
3. When you are laying in bed at night do your best to think of happy things. Often anxiety can take over when we are in bed trying to sleep. Use this time to remember a funny movie or story.
4. When you get up in the morning, say to yourself that it will be a good day. It is often the case that by having a positive outlook good things will actually happen to you.
5. Keep yourself busy throughout the day. Usually we become anxious when we are idle. Start and end the day with activities that you enjoy doing. Also, even carrying out household chores can keep your mind off worrying. Usually when we are watching TV or browsing the net our minds do not wander so much.
6. Talk about your worries and concerns with a close friend. They should be able to give you advice and put the issues into perspective.
7. If there is something you have always wanted to do then work towards it. If you can achieve a goal it will also give you confidence. - 32198
