Anxiety and fear accompany a person throughout his life. To a certain extent, this is normal, because the turns of fate are sometimes unpredictable, and many live in constant fear of losing what they have or not achieving what they want. How do you stop worrying and finally start living?
Instructions
Step 1
Separate true fears from imaginary ones. If you, for example, are afraid of black cats that cross the road at the most inopportune moment, just make friends with these cute animals, even if you are an avid dog lover. Fears of this kind should not be given importance, and they will gradually fade away.
Step 2
In a situation where your fears are by no means unfounded, do not dismiss them, but you do not need to cherish your worries. For example, if you are afraid of inheriting an ailment that tormented your older relatives, take all possible preventive measures. Do everything to prevent trouble, and fears will be greatly reduced.
Step 3
Go ahead in defiance of fear, do not run away, face troubles face to face. The faster you run away from your worries, the more formidable they seem. Perhaps, upon closer examination, what inspired the sacred horror will turn out to be just a small problem that can be solved.
Step 4
Imagine your worst fears come true. You were left penniless, nowhere to live, and your only companion is hopeless loneliness. Going through these fantasies over and over again, you will feel the negative emotions subside. This exercise reduces the brain's ability to be constantly anxious and helps it stay in control of even the most difficult situation.
Step 5
Accept the inevitable. There are things that just happen. For example, the fear of old age haunts many, but sooner or later it will come. Learn to accept what is destined and find positive moments in everything. Take a closer look, not all aged people are sick and unhappy. Pay attention to positive examples.
Step 6
Get your nervous system in order. She is almost constantly tense, and if you do not learn to relax, the reaction to negative events will be constant anxiety. Master the simplest meditation techniques, auto-training techniques. If necessary, take a natural sedative after talking with your doctor.
Step 7
Be optimistic in spite of everything! Believe that only good lies ahead of you, and trials will only make you stronger, and fears can never overcome you.
