Learn How To Overcome Your Out Of Control Anxieties
Learn how to manage your out of control anxieties. It may be
tough but you can do it. Here are some ways to cope with your
fears and anxieties.
The first step is to take a deep breathe and try to find
something to do to get your mind off of the problem. A person
could take a walk, listen to some music, read the newspaper,
watch TV, play on the computer or do an activity that will give
them a fresh perspective on things. This will distract you from
your current problem. Most importantly, doing something will
give you the self confidence that you can still function and
that you can get through the rest of the day.
Another thing to remind yourself is that things change and
events do not stay the same. For instance, you may feel
overwhelmed in the mornings with your anxiety and feel that this
is how you will feel the rest of the day. This isn't correct. No
one can predict the future with 100 Percent accuracy. Even if
the thing that you feared does happen there are circumstances
and factors that you can't predict which can be used to your
advantage. You never know when the help and answers you are
looking for will come to you.
I was told by a counselor that your anxiety and worry decrease
over time. Your anxieties may seem intense at the moment, but
that won't be like that forever. Your worry will eventually
decrease. I asked a professional why does the worry and anxiety
decrease over time and she told me, "Because it just does".
In every anxiety related situation you experience, begin to
learn what works, what doesn't work, and what you need to
improve on in managing your fears and anxieties. For instance,
you have a lot of anxiety and you decide to play on the computer
to help you feel better. The next time you feel anxious you can
remind yourself that you got through it the last time by playing
on the computer. This will give you the confidence to manage
your anxiety at the present time.
Don't forget to Pray and ask God for help. A person can only do
so much. Asking God for help can give us additional resources to
help manage our fears and anxieties. It is not always easy,
however God is in control and he will help you if you ask him.
As a Layman, I realize it is not easy to deal with all of our
fears. When your fears and anxieties have the best of you, seek
help from a professional. The key is to be patient, take it
slow, and not to give up. In time, you will be able to find
those resources that will help you with your problems.
