How
To Overcome Feeling Of Worry
Here are few practical steps.
Change your self-image. You must begin by asking yourself,
“what sort of person I am?” How would you describe yourself? A person who is
afraid of life, uneasy in many situations and prone to worry?
The way to overcome fear and worry is to change your
response to the situations around you. The secret is in ourselves. It is not
what happens to us but the way we react to what happens that counts.
Make a positive approach to life. To change tour self-image
you must change your reaction to the experiences of life. Begin by counting
your blessings and being thankful for your possessions.
Is your mind able to think and plan? Are you able to see the
beauty of the countryside, hear and enjoy melodious music, appreciate tasty and
healthy food? These are real blessings.
Every day stop a few minutes to appreciate what you have.
Begin the day with a positive affirmation “I am going to live this day enjoying
good health and happiness”.
Resolve to face life as it really is. If you have problems
face them squarely- don’t run away from them or leave them in the back of your
mind.
When some misfortune threatens, consider seriously and
deliberately what is the worst that could possibly happen. Then be prepared to
face it bravely while hoping for the best. You will find that you worry
disappears to a great extent. If you have not shirked in facing the worst
possible situation, you will find that your worry dissolves altogether.
Remember you have at your disposal your personal gifts and
the strength that comes from the heart of the Universe. Accept the situation in
which you find yourself. If there is nothing that can be done to change it,
realize that you will have to live with it and accept it. Many people become tense
because they struggle against something that cannot be changed. The great
secret of happy and peaceful living is in the phrase “one day at a time”. It
means: “Live one day at a time”.
Realize how much time you have wasted by worrying about the
future and regretting about the past. Today is yours to use it to the full.
When you get up in the morning resolve to think of matters
concerned with that one day and leave everything else until the next day comes.
Do your best to handle these subjects with faith and perseverance.
Plan your day. It is a good thing to make a plan for the
day. Just as you budget your money, you should also budget your time.
Do your best and leave the rest. Resolve to do your best at
each task and then leave it. It is good to remember that “Even this will pass
away”.
You cannot do anything properly if you worry about something
you are going to do next. Give all your attention to the matter on hand.
Relax. This is perhaps the greatest word of all. Take time
to relax and live in relaxed way.
Make up your mind that you will never rush up. Get up a
little early so that you don’t have a rush out for work. Take things quietly
and calmly. Get into the habit of taking ”one minute rest” off and on several
times in a day.
Fix some time during the day when, for ten minutes or so,
you can sit down and relax yourself completely.
Remember that you need to relax your mind as well as your
body. Prepare a quiet room for yourself. Let your mind dwell upon the beautiful
pictures around you in the room and the beauty you can see from the windows.
