6 ways to stop your stressing !
-HOP OFF THE WORRY TRAIN.Just because you have an idea("I might get fired") doesn't mean you need to ride it to its terminus.("There are 50 ways i could screw up,and i've got to avoid them all") ..."worry can waste energy-you are trying to fix every possible problem,even if none exist,"psychologist Robert Leahy says,Instead,think of a few tasks that will help whatever happens,like bonding with coworkers.
-PLAN TO FRET."Take half an hour to worry intensively,then move on"...
-KEEP a journal.Jot down your worry,then in a few days or weeks,write the outcome .What you'll find:Things usually turn out better than you think thay will.
-CHALLENGE THE LIKELIHOOD OF YOUR WORRY.If your husband if late coming home and you imagine he has been hit by bus ,think about the emotion behind your worry.(You are anxious because you love hom and want to keep him around)Once you have indentified the emotion at the heart of your worry and allowed yourself to experience it ,see if it's a reasonable worry(hint: probably not).Then let it pass rather than allowing anxiety to ruin your quiet night at home.
-PEEL AN ORANGE. The next time a thought threstens to snowball into a stress,grab an orange or grapefruit.Press your nail into the skin ,peel it back and smell the citrus scent, focusing in every sensation."rather than worry about the future,you can bring yourself into the moment...
-GET NOSTALGIC.Visualize your key life events of the past 10 years.You probably can't recall the worries linked with these experiences.or if you can,you may see that most never happened (you didn't trip and fall at your wedding).Tell yourself that current worries will fade from memory,too.
