“I vow to let go of all worries and anxiety in order to be light and free.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh
When you think about the future, are you filled with hope or worry? If you are like most people, it’s probably anxiety. You have largely been experiencing worry. Your mind feels unsettled. Worry arises because you realize that you cannot predict what is going to happen tomorrow and know that you cannot have full control over how events turn out. You are uncomfortable with not having absolute certainty.
Some people do this when the word 'Change' is mentioned to them. Change can occur at home, in the workplace, Change in Secondlife perhaps? Look at what happened when we were told that there was going to be a change in the way we use Secondlife. Everyone went into a panic.
It is important to recognize that uncertainty is a natural part of life. You cannot know with absolute certainty what is going to happen next. When you release your attachment to control, it’s easier to breathe. Some people deal with anxiety by drinking, overeating, and turning to other bad habits. However, none of these are real solutions for worrying. The best approach is to learn how to deal with your anxiety in healthy ways. Suggestions are follows: -
1. Work it off.
Although exercise may not actually solve the issues that are causing you to feel anxious, engaging yourself in activity takes your mind off things. You become clearer after taking a break.
2. Address your fears.
Instead of suppressing your anxiety, it is important to face your fears head on. Ask yourself what is truly causing your anxiety. Is it a real worry?or just because you have no control. You should only worry what you can control, and just go with the flow and see what happens. You could be pleasantly suprised.
3. Meditate.
Meditation helps your mind with needed breaks from all that clutter. The practice also helps you with greater focus. You find yourself experiencing increased clarity and less likely to worry over unnecessary things.
4. Stay hydrated.
Did you know that dehydration has been linked to depression? Just about every person has heard that it is important to drink enough water, but most people do not realize that their mental health actually improves when they are hydrated.
5. Change your perspective.
Energy flows where you focus your attention. Understand that you can choose to focus on positive rather than negative thoughts. In fact, as you become more positive, you’ll be better able to create more positive outcomes. Be around positive people will help you have a clearer mind.
6. Relax.
It’s hard not to feel bombarded living in modern times. You probably spend your days in a constant state of flux. Your heart beats a lot faster as a result. So set aside time to relax. You’ll find that your feelings of anxiety subside.
No matter what if you can't cope with change it is always best to talk to someone. This helps you to understand why it is causing you to worry.
