LIVE IN THE HERE AND NOW
Live your life in the present as much
as possible. A horrible habit formed by
those who suffer from anxiety is putting
too much thought on the past or future.
This will only serve to overwhelm you,
causing even more worry, which will
eventually turn into an anxiety attack.
Keep anxious feelings to a low level and
do not focus on anxious thoughts.
KNOW WHAT MAKES YOU ANXIOUS
Think about what triggers your
anxiety, and make a mental note of each
one. Doing so makes you more aware of
your triggers, which lets you consciously
deal with them easier. Do you find that
most of your stress is work related?
Maybe you can try to move to a new area
or project. By understanding the causes of
your anxiety, you will begin to get rid of it.
Make certain that you utilize the advice
here the very next time you have anxious
feelings. You will likely find that some
methods work well, and others not at all,
so keep trying them all until you find the
most effective approach. Be patient and
keep in mind that the things that you do
will be able to help you control stress.
