Many of us are moving around everyday lost in out frightened thoughts of what could happen if this?, or that? etc. It tends to isolate us in our little worlds of pain and we miss out on so much. Not to mention that nothing is more draining of our energy. We don't take opportunities that we should and we miss out on so much in life.
So how do we stop the process?
I hope some of the tips below will help.
1)If you are a worrier and it takes up alot of your time try this technique. Try exaggerating your worried thoughts without interupting them. What I mean by this is that If you have a thought that "My lover could leave me" instead of trying to re-assure yourself that he or she loves you and would never leave you try running with the idea that they could. Watch as your anxiety goes up reaches a plateau and then falls.
2)Forget alot of that positive thinking rubbish thats around Today. Don't try to replace you worried thoughts with more positive ones. Just let the thoughts be and watch them fade.
3)Ask yourself this -What emotion am I feeling when I worry? or what am I trying to avoid in my life?. Generally we worry about the things that we would like to avoid in life and its usually an emotion rather than a particular event. Thats why worries move from one thought to another until we finally face and accept the emotion we're avoiding.
4)Realise that surrender is your only option or that "resistance is futile" as the Borg would say. When an emotion comes up fueling a thought its no use trying to rationalise it away. Just let it happen and you will start to gain more control. -John Right(http://www.nopanic.cjb.net)
