Anxiety is a common problem in today's society. Below are some effective methods for dealing with anxiety.
Repeat the disturbing thought several times
You have probably noticed that fear becomes weaker if you immerse yourself in a situation where it is present.
For example, you are afraid of elevators, but try to drive a couple of floors.
It also works with thoughts.
It is worth repeating the same disturbing thought several times, as it becomes less disturbing.
Don't judge yourself for your thoughts or emotions
Everyone has crazy thoughts, and it's absolutely normal.
Try not to blame yourself for your condition and not suppress your emotions.
Turn off your mind
Try to stop the flow of thoughts in some ways.
For example, imagine that your thoughts are washed away by the shower.
Another way is to imagine that your thoughts are a blackboard that you are clearing of chalk.
Lower your level of control
Stop checking the weather every day.
There are things that cannot be controlled.
Relinquish control of things beyond your control as much as possible.
Use relaxation techniques
Try to do your favorite hobby, meditation, yoga, sports.
Walking in the fresh air, communication with relatives and friends, massage, breathing techniques help to reduce the level of stress and anxiety.
